Every named reservoir in the Adirondack Park — flood-control basins, drinking-water sources, and the impoundments anchoring the southern watersheds.
Davis Lake is a 46-acre reservoir in the Keene township — modest size, working infrastructure, not a wilderness pond. The name appears on USGS quads and in DEC water inventories, but public access details and fisheries data are thin to nonexistent in the usual channels. It sits in the orbital range of better-documented Keene Valley waters but doesn't show up in the standard trailhead-and-campsite literature. If you're chasing it down, confirm access and current status with the town or local landowners before assuming a right-of-way.
Deer River Flow is a 960-acre reservoir on the Deer River in the northwestern Adirondacks, created by a dam north of Duane. Motorboats allowed; fishing for northern pike, bass, and panfish; access via DEC boat launch on Meacham Lake Road.
Deer River Flow is a four-acre impoundment on the Deer River system north of Saranac Lake — a low-profile paddle destination in a region better known for its larger, more developed waters. The flow sits in mixed forest with marshy edges, typical of beaver-influenced water levels and the kind of shallow habitat that holds warmwater species even if the DEC record comes up blank. Access likely involves the Deer River itself or bushwhacking from nearby forest roads — this is working-woods country, not trailhead-and-parking-lot country. If you're poking around the upper Deer River drainage by canoe, this is a worthwhile detour for solitude and birdwatching, but bring a map and don't expect signage.
Delta Reservoir sprawls across 2,510 acres in the western Adirondacks — a flood-control impoundment on the Mohawk River built by the state in the 1900s and still managed by the Canal Corporation for downstream flow regulation. The water level swings dramatically with seasonal releases, which keeps shoreline access variable and limits the fishery data, though anglers work the coves when levels are stable. Launch access off Delta Dam Road on the north end; the reservoir sits just west of Old Forge and the Fulton Chain, functionally outside the tourist corridor but close enough for a morning paddle when the main lakes are choppy. Bring a chart — the drowned channel and stumps make navigation worth paying attention to.
