13th Lake. Easy access, nice size and little shoreline developement. Loon Lake is nice, easy access. It's been described as one of the most scenic lakes in the ADK's, but Idk. We do like it but Paradox is prettier, IMO.
Some of the remote lakes have their access roads locked this year due to DEC money issues. Myself, I'ld recommend staying off of Lake George w/kayaks and canoes. That lake isn't very friendly to small vessels, as seen lately it turns deadly for them. I'ld at least hug the shore.
Side Note:
Hope everybody is washing off their boats and paddles, etc as they hop from water to water. Invasive species suck bigtime. I've seen lakes that are COMPLETELY choked out with Milfoil. It looks so thick as if you could walk across it. It's gonna be very sad if these lakes up here get ruined by that BS! Zebra mussels and Rock Snot suck too.
Out of the area people who visit here in the summertime should consider bringing swim suits. Many of the waters are absolutely crystal clear. Mirror Lake in Placid is that way, has a nice beach, changing house and more than it's share of Hotties.
