Encompassing some 1,376 acres and reaching depths reported to approach 53 feet, this intermediate link in the Saranac chain offers a quieter alternative to Upper Saranac and remains a reliable choice for families and novice paddlers. The lake is known to hold smallmouth bass, northern pike, and yellow perch, and current NYSDEC regulations apply to all angling. Public access and a maintained launch make it a practical gateway to the region's interconnected waterways, though the experience here tends toward the pastoral rather than the remote.
