The Village of Saranac Lake is located in the heart of the magnificent High Peaks Region and is famous for its many beautiful lakes and streams including the Upper, Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes, Kiwassa Lake, Oseetah Lake, Lake Flower and Upper and Lower St. Regis Lakes. These waters offer some of the finest fishing in the country and are home to many native species of trout, bass and pike. The Saranac Lake region offers visitors a rich variety of historic, artistic and cultural attractions. Saranac Lake is also famous for its magnificent 'Great Camps' dating back to the golden era of the early 1900's. These sprawling compounds epitomize what is known today as the rustic 'Adirondack style' representing a unique chapter in Americian architectural history. These rustic camps served as huge retreats for wealthy families like the Rockefellers and Vanderbilts for half a century. Today, visitors can actually tour some of these 'Great Camps' and experience their spectacular beauty first hand.
Saranac Lake is also well known for its fresh mountain air and rejuvenating climate!
In the early 1900's the Village of Saranac Lake became an international destination
and pioneer
health resort for people from
all walks of life suffering from Tuberculosis.
Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau discovered
the cure for Tuberculosis gaining worldwide attention for this quaint mountain
village.
Today,
the organization known as Historic Saranac
Lake, an architectural preservation group, has done a remarkable job preserving
and recognizing
the 'Cure History' of Saranac Lake through the nomination of 170 properties to
the National Register of Historic Places. Current
projects include management of the restored Union Depot as a tourist, transportation
and recreation center, and the restoration of the Bela Bartok Cabin and Dr. E.L.
Trudeau's Saranac Laboratory. Saranac Lake has now
become an important cultural tourism destination in Upstate New York.
In 1995 the Village of Saranac
Lake was ranked #1 among small
towns in New York State and 11th in the United States. In 1998 the prestigious
All America City status was bestowed upon the Village in
recognition of Saranac Lake's unique history and
character.
The Saranac
chain of lakes consists of Upper Saranac Lake , Middle Saranac Lake, Lower Saranac
Lake , Lake Ossetah, Lake Flower and the Saranac River. The route from Upper Saranac
Lake to Lake Flower covers around 25 miles.
The water flows in a southeastern direction from Upper Saranac Lake to Middle
Saranac Lake, which then flows east to Lower Saranac Lake, Oseetah Lake, Saranac
River, and north to Lake Flower in the Village of Saranac Lake. The Saranac River
then continues until it flows into Lake Champlain in Plattsburgh. The route travels
along thousands 
of acres of "Forever Wild" designated State lands, waterways and beaches. You
can paddle the entire chain with only one short portage between Upper Saranac
Lake and Middle Saranac Lake. A good starting point is on the north end of Upper
Saranac Lake on Back Bay. Paddling
south you will pass Dry and Green Islands. Continuing south, Markham Point, Square
Bay, and Saginaw Bay, are all on the east shore. Buck Island is at the head of
Saginaw Bay. Fish Creek Bay, on the west. Continuing south through The Narrows,
the lake opens up again. Birch Point, Eagle Island, Gull Point, Gull Bay, Deer
Island and  Doctors
Island are all landmarks to guide your trip. Chapel Island, located on your right
at the southern end of the lake, has summer church services open to the public.
At the south end of the lake, head east into Huckleberry Bay and look for signs
marking Bartlett Carry. This is the only portage on this journey and is a short
walk to Middle Saranac Lake.Head East across Middle Saranac Lake to the end of the lake where the Saranac River takes you to the Upper Locks. Paddle further down the Saranac River and you will be in Lower Saranac Lake. Pass Pope Bay, Pope Island and Picnic Point and head southeast into the Saranac River once more. You will travel through First Pond, go under Route 3 and then into Second Pond. The route then takes you on the Saranac River into the Lower Locks. After the locks the river widens into Oseetah Lake. You will pass Demerse, Winonah and Papoose Islands and Otter Slide which will be on your left. Follow the river into Lake Flower and the public boat launch in the Village of Saranac Lake.
