2013 Map of Lake Pleasant

About this map

Sacandaga Lake and its eastern neighbor, Lake Pleasant, anchor this portion of the Adirondacks, where the settlement of Lake Pleasant serves as a central hub between the water and the rising terrain. The map details a landscape defined by recreational and seasonal footprints, from the Moffit Beach area on the northern shore to Camp Agaming and Sacandaga Camp. Local history and genealogy interests are represented by the Fish Mtn Cem near Fish Mountain Rd and the S Side Lake Cem tucked along the southern shore of the larger lake. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly dense with named peaks like Mt Francisco, Buckhorn Mtn, and Swart Mtn, separated by the drainage of Hamilton Lake Stream and the W Br Sacandaga River. This network of streams and small ponds, including Lost Lake and Buck Pond, illustrates the complex hydrology of the high country.
