Boating in Saranac Lake
Make the most of your visit on the water

Boating in the Adirondacks

Saranac Lake invites you to enjoy our water by boat! Begin by checking out Lake Flower, the center of downtown Saranac Lake, offering over 24 miles of navigable Adirondack lakes and waterways. Find your own private beach or spot to anchor down and make the most of your day on the water. As you coast along you will see islands to hop and rope swings for thrills and excitement. 

Find the best place to start your motorboat adventure on the Adirondack lakes of the Saranac Lake Region.

Leave No Trace and Love Your ADK Pledge

The magic of the Adirondacks is the result of previous generations taking a long view and protecting the mountains, lakes, and rivers within the Blue Line. That tradition continues today as we support and encourage everyone to practice Leave No Trace ethics, which help protect the lands and waters of the Adirondacks.
