42 Queechy Lake Drive, Canaan, NY 12029

Imagine serving dinners lakeside or welcoming boaters to one of the docks for a refreshing summertime spritzer!! This is the amazing opportunity that awaits ones vision in reviving the nostalgic Backwater Grill restaurant. An opportunity to cater to the residents surrounding Queechy Lake or visitors to the Hudson Valley and Berkshires. Architectural drawings are in place showcasing the layout of the kitchen, dining area and lounge. A second-floor space includes additional room for storage and an office. The gem of the design, however, is the outdoor dining deck poised on the edge of the lake. Careful work has been done to design a septic system to handle the needs of the restaurant with special consideration given to the sensitivity of being on the lake. Both DEC and the Columbia County Board of Health have approved the design with estimates for installation in place.With so much of the planning work already completed, its time to put hammer to nail and bring an all new Backwater Grill back to the anticipating public. Its also an opportunity to compliment the work and vision taking place up the road at the former Queechy Lake Motel. What a dynamic duo for Canaan and the visiting public has never been so fortunate!
