Lamica Lake is an 18-acre reservoir tucked into the broader Saranac Lake watershed — one of those working bodies of water that shows up on the topo but rarely in trip reports. The shoreline is a mix of private holdings and undeveloped state land, so public access is limited and best confirmed with the DEC before planning a visit. No fish species data on record, which suggests it's either stocked inconsistently or managed primarily for water supply rather than recreation. If you're poking around the back roads west of Saranac Lake village and see the name on a sign, this is the lake — but don't expect a put-in or a clearing.
