Nestled in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, Raquette Lake has long been a favored retreat for well-to-do New Yorkers. Spanning 99 miles (160 kilometers) of shoreline, it is the largest natural lake in the Adirondacks. Visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, from swimming and boating to scenic cruises, fishing, and hiking. The expansive, serene waters and surrounding lush forests provide a refreshing escape, especially during the summer months.
