The Cedar Lodge

The Cedar Lodge

Joe Indian Rd,
Parishville, NY



August, 1998.


The Cedar Lodge is a genuine logger's and sportsman's tavern. While another favorite local watering hole on the outskirts of Parishvillethe Timber Tavernhas a woodsy ambience, the Cedar Lodge is actually situated in the woods. A mountain, and several miles of rolling and twisting roads distance it from Parishville. A leisurely ride through several miles of wooded Adirondack foothill country along the Joe Indian Rd. is sure to stimulate one's appetite for a hearty meal prepared by Sally, the bar's proprietor. From Parishville the trip only takes fifteen minutes by car, sixteen by logging truck (the mountain).


The Cedar Lodge features homestyle cooking, a full bar, pool table, shuffleboard table, and all the gossip, yarns, tall tales, and fish stories you care to hear. Sally's husband Charlie, a semi-permanent fixture at the bar, may offer a passing motorist or hunter a fish story or two, though he's really a quiet sort with a deadpan sense of humor. A canny poker player, he's probably sizing up his next victim at the poker game over at Dominick's camp. Sally you want to watch out for, too. She's fiesty, and doesn't put up with shenanigans by the drunk and disorderly. Just the Drunk. But Sally and Charlie are really as friendly a couple as you'll ever meet.


Whether you're a sportsman, a nature admirer, a logger, or just out for a Sunday afternoon drive, be sure to stop into the Cedar Lodge and chew the fat (and drink a beer) with Sally and Charlie, and their good-looking daughter.


(The Cedar Lodge is now under new ownership, and maintains the tradition of a great sportsman's bar, with great food and a friendly atmosphere.)
