Lakeside living is a large part of our area, with Fulton County being the home to 44 Lakes. Included in that is THE GREAT SACANDAGA LAKE. Nestled in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, with a length of 29 miles and a shoreline of 125 miles. The Great Sacandaga Lake is Unspoiled, unpopulated, and unknown to most, this majestic lake is one of the few remaining “natural wonders” of New York State. Protected by the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) and the Hudson River Black River Regulating District Authority, The Great Sacandaga Lake has kept its natural beauty a secret from the “advances” of technology and commercialism. The beginning of this century was marked by major flooding on the Hudson River, especially in the Albany area. A flood control basin was proposed, and the Conklingville Dam was completed in 1932. Here the Sacandaga River was dammed, forming the Great Sacandaga Lake. What was originally conceived as a means of controlling the floodwaters of the Hudson has come into its own right as one of New York State’s premier locations to live and vacation. Coldwell Banker Prime Properties has now opened The Great Sacandaga Lake Office. This is the location formerly known as William J Cole Realty. Cole Realty served the region around the Great Sacandaga Lake since 1978 and was known as the lake experts, with their listings including some of the most beautiful and desirable properties anywhere.
