About Raquette Lake
Raquette Lake is one of the larger lakes in the central Adirondack Park, a protected area of forest, wetlands and lakes covering a large part of northern New York State. The lake sits at about 540 metres above sea level and is surrounded by mixed woodland of pine, spruce and hardwood trees. It is best known as a quiet, remote lake region, popular with paddlers, anglers and people who want a break from busy towns.
What to watch and when
The view shows the lake and shoreline, so the most rewarding moments are usually early morning, when the water is often calm and mist may lift off the surface, and late afternoon, when the light softens across the trees. Autumn is especially striking, as the forest turns red, orange and gold. Wind and cloud can change the scene quickly, so the live picture is the best guide to conditions at any moment.
Climate and getting there
The Adirondacks have a cold, snowy winter and warm, humid summers, with autumn colours usually peaking in late September and early October. Summer is the most popular season for boating and swimming, while winter brings snowshoeing and ice conditions. Nearby cameras in Inlet, Eagle Bay and Old Forge show other parts of the region, which can help you compare conditions before setting out.
