Every named reservoir in the Adirondack Park — flood-control basins, drinking-water sources, and the impoundments anchoring the southern watersheds.
Ireland Vly is a 267-acre reservoir in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — one of the quieter backwaters in a watershed dominated by the main lake's recreation traffic. The name survives from the pre-dam era, when this was a natural vly (wetland meadow) before the Sacandaga River system was impounded in the 1930s. No fish records on file, which tracks with many of the shallow, marshy arms of the Sacandaga system — more attractive to waterfowl than anglers. Access and launch details are sparse; local knowledge rules here.
