A deep, cold lake spanning just over a thousand acres in the Saranac Lake region, Lake Clear reaches a reported maximum depth of nearly a hundred feet and is known for its strong lake trout fishery alongside populations of brook trout and yellow perch. The water presents an intermediate challenge to anglers, with public access available, and its clarity reflects the cold, oligotrophic character typical of deeper Adirondack lakes. A historic lodge sits along its shoreline, overlooking the expanse.
