Adirondack Lake
Lake Adirondack is a small lake in the village of Indian Lake. It should be a nice easy lake for paddling, but it has some development around it and it is small. Nearby there are several other good places to paddle. Lake Abenakee is right down the road. Indian Lake is very large and can get rough, but it is beautiful. Try paddling the south end. Lewey lake is 15 minutes south, also beautiful. There are plenty of places within a half hour drive.

Maps
There are some good maps for paddling/hiking in this area. The Adirondack Mountain Club and National Geographic have teamed up to produce a series of “Trails Illustrated” maps of the Adirondack Park. Adirondack Lake and Indian Lake are covered in the Northville/Raquette Lake edition (No. 744). Another really good map is “Adirondack Paddler’s Map”, but it does not cover this area of the Adirondacks.

The ($16.95) paddlers map does not cover your area, but is a great resource.

info
there is another message board, www.adirondackforum, paddling adirondacks that may offer more Adk info.



The Paddlers map is available from the publisher at St Regis outfitters, 518.891.2525. Tell Dave I sent you.

Adirondack Lake
I have stayed at 4 cottages on that lake over the years and really enjoy that area. All the spots mentioned are nice.The lake has good large mouth fishing and lots of small islands. I would add the west end of Lake Durant to Rock Pond and south Inlet by Raquette Lake to your paddling list. You will also be close to Cedar River Flow. A rainy day is well spent at the Adirondack Museum.The chamber of commerce building in Indian Lake has a wealth of free books,brochures, and general info on the area. Enjoy your stay in a special ( uncrowded ) part of the Adirondacks. Dave

thanks Dave
we normally rented a cabin in Inlet for the last several years, but decided to branch out and see something else. we plan to bike, hike, and kayak. glad to know that there are still fish in the lakes and that acid rain hasn’t killed them off. its always exciting to go and try a new place to explore and we’re looking forward to our stay in the area. thanks for pointing me to the chamber of commerce for maps and info.
