This live camera looks out over Lake Desolation, a quiet body of water in the Adirondack and Hudson Valley country of eastern New York. It is a useful window for anyone wanting to see how a northeastern lake looks through the seasons, from open water to ice and autumn colour.
About the lake and its setting
Lake Desolation sits at roughly 479 metres above sea level in the hilly terrain of eastern New York, a region of forests, small lakes and farmland near the Vermont border. The name suggests a remote spot, and the surroundings do feel far from busy towns. The area is valued for quiet paddling, fishing and simply being outdoors away from the main highways.
What the camera is best for
Because the view is a natural landscape, its appeal changes with the light and weather rather than with any scheduled activity. Mornings often bring still water and mist, while late afternoon light can warm the shoreline. In autumn, the surrounding trees are typically the most striking, and in winter the lake may be frozen, depending on the year's temperatures.
Visiting and nearby cameras
New York's northeast has warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, so late spring to early autumn is generally the most comfortable time to visit. The regional city of Albany lies about 53 km away and is the nearest major hub. Other cameras nearby include Schroon Lake, Stratton Mountain and the Stratton Golf Course view in Winhall.
