Schroon Lake covers 4,233 acres in the eastern Adirondacks and drops to 152 feet — deep enough for lake trout and landlocked salmon alongside smallmouth bass. Multiple public launches and calmer traffic than Lake George make it a practical choice for families and anglers seeking clear water without the crowds.
Schroon Lake reaches a maximum depth of 152 feet. Fish on record include Lake trout, Smallmouth bass, and Salmon — always check current New York State DEC regulations before fishing. Schroon Lake has public access. Summits nearby include Steep Bay Hill and Quackenbush Hill.
