The Mohawk River in the Great Sacandaga Lake region is a remnant waterway from the pre-reservoir landscape — before the 1930 damming of the Sacandaga River flooded 41 square miles of valley and erased dozens of small tributaries from the map. What's left of the Mohawk flows through low-relief terrain south and west of the lake, passing through mixed hardwood bottomland that sees little foot traffic compared to the higher-profile water access points around Sacandaga itself. The fish record is thin here, likely a mix of warm-water species moving in from the reservoir system during high water. If you're chasing moving water in this corner of the Park, you're typically doing it by accident or on purpose solitude.
