OUR LOCATION

I thought maybe you'd like to see where I/we are located. The large lake is a man made lake called "The Great Sacandaga Lake." Due to flooding down the Hudson River and need for a water power plant, a dam was built in late 1920's, which flooded the area where you now see this beautiful lake. It destroyed many old homesteads, farming, many communities and was a sad thing for those who lost their homes, businesses, churches, schools, cemeteries etc. Today it is a beautiful lake as it serves as a recreational area as well as flood control and power generator.

This picture was taken before our new bridge was built in 1990. Note our village is a peninsula. You can also see our beach area and pond by our cabin. It's a beautiful area in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains of New York.
