Every named reservoir in the Adirondack Park — flood-control basins, drinking-water sources, and the impoundments anchoring the southern watersheds.
Cedar River Flow is a 486-acre impoundment on the Cedar River south of Raquette Lake — created by the Wakely Dam and managed by the state as part of the Hudson River watershed system. The flow sits in a broad, marshy basin ringed by low hills and accessed primarily by water: paddlers launch from the Cedar River Road put-in and explore the maze of bays, deadfalls, and flooded timber that define the reservoir's character. This is remote flatwater — no road noise, no development, and long views across open water broken by standing dead spruce. No fish species data on file, but the shallow, weedy structure suggests warmwater habitat typical of Adirondack impoundments.
