Chase Lake is a 67-acre water in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — part of the southern Adirondack landscape where the terrain flattens out and the lakes sit lower and warmer than their High Peaks counterparts. No fish species data on record, which usually means either limited public access or minimal stocking and survey history; many waters in this zone are private or semi-private shoreline communities. The Great Sacandaga itself is a reservoir (flooded in 1930), and Chase Lake sits in that same hydrological system — a quieter alternative to the main body if you can reach it. Check local access and ownership before launching.
