Scenic Black Lake stands out as a unique natural wonder, having been shaped by the same glacier that formed the Great Lakes. This stunning lake is renowned as one of New York State's premier fishing destinations, attracting anglers from far and wide. Spanning nearly 11,000 acres, Black Lake stretches over 20 miles in length and reaches up to 4 miles in width at its broadest point. The lake's landscape is characterized by striking rock formations, sandy bars, and underwater shoals, creating an environment reminiscent of the rugged beauty found in northern Canada. Majestic rocky islands dot the waters, providing a picturesque backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts. The Indian River and Fish Creek serve as the primary sources of water for Black Lake, which flows northward for over 20 miles before joining the Oswegatchie River. This river then cascades over the Eel Weir Dam, eventually merging with the St. Lawrence River at Ogdensburg. Visitors to Black Lake can enjoy mild weather, with pleasant days that rarely become too hot, and cool evenings perfect for relaxation. The area offers a wealth of outdoor activities, including fishing, boating, and swimming, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers. Nearby attractions include charming restaurants and local shops, ensuring that guests have everything they
