Stretching thirty-two miles through the southeastern Adirondacks and plunging to depths approaching two hundred feet, this 28,000-acre lake is reported to sustain the Park's strongest established lake trout fishery, though smallmouth bass, salmon, and northern pike are also present. The scale and depth present an intermediate challenge, one supported by multiple public launches, marinas, and charter services distributed along the shoreline. Current NYSDEC regulations apply to all angling.
