Lake Roxanne.
Lake Roxanne is a 206-acre reservoir in the Saranac Lake region — a man-made water that serves municipal purposes and sits off the main recreational radar. The reservoir designation typically means restricted or limited access, and without established fish stocking records or public shoreline access points, it functions more as infrastructure than destination water. If you're looking for fishable or paddleable water near Saranac Lake, Lower Saranac Lake, Oseetah Lake, and Lake Flower all offer public launches and better-documented recreational access within a few miles.
