The mailboat departs the village dock in Clift Park most mornings from late June through early September, looping down the lake on a three-hour trip while delivering and collecting mail at private cottages. Sightseeing cruises and Sunday brunch trips run on a similar schedule for those who do not need the postal experience.
Tickets sell out on summer weekends — book ahead. The boats are restored wooden launches with shaded decks; a sweater for the morning crossing is a good idea even in July. The same company runs Erie Canal cruises further north.
