Every named reservoir in the Adirondack Park — flood-control basins, drinking-water sources, and the impoundments anchoring the southern watersheds.
Rice Reservoir is a 19-acre impoundment in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — one of the smaller, quieter waters in a landscape dominated by the sprawl of the main lake itself. No fish species data on record, which typically signals either limited access or limited angling pressure, and no major trailheads or lean-tos in the immediate orbit. For paddlers and anglers working the Sacandaga corridor, Rice sits off the well-traveled routes — a footnote reservoir in a region built for bigger water.
Rockwood Lake is a 47-acre reservoir in the Great Sacandaga Lake region — part of the sprawling hydroelectric and flood-control system that reshaped this corner of the southern Adirondacks in the 1930s. The lake sits off the main Sacandaga corridor, quieter than the big water but still shaped by the same engineering legacy that turned valleys into reservoirs and seasonal camps into year-round shoreline. No fish species data on file, which usually means either limited stocking history or a reservoir that sees more local use than DEC surveying. Access and launch details are sparse — worth a scout if you're already in the area, but not a destination drive from outside the region.
