Lake Flower in Saranac Lake

Our yearly trip to the Adirondacks. Launch at the Lake Flower DEC public boat launch in the middle of town. The boat launch has room for 20 cars and has public rest rooms.

Plan is to kayak to the Saranac River Lock (Lower Lock)going through Oseetah Lake. Take a break and return to Lake Flower.

Lake Flower is a great body of water to paddle around with no destination in mind. It is especially popular for people using paddleboards and kayaks. Located in the center of downtown Saranac Lake, the paddle offers a great view of the downtown area and the mountain ranges. If you choose to venture toward Oseetah Lake you will get more of a feel for the natural environment and have the opportunity to observe birds including great blue herons, common loons, seagulls, and other wildlife. At the southern end of the lake you will encounter bog areas with white water lilies and other bog plants.
