Canajoharie Reservoir is a 12-acre impoundment in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — small-scale public water supply infrastructure, not a destination fishery or recreational draw. The name carries over from the Mohawk Valley town of Canajoharie, though the reservoir itself sits well into the southern Adirondacks, part of the patchwork of municipal and private holdings that complicate access in the southeastern Park. No fish stocking records on file, no marked public access, no surrounding trail system — this is functionally off-limits water unless you're tied to the local water district. If you're looking for nearby paddling or fishing, the Great Sacandaga Lake proper is the move.
