Speculator Village is on scenic Lake Pleasant, surrounded by mountains, and is home to great ice fishing and snowmobiling on hundreds of miles of trails, as well as xc skiing and skating. But at 1800' above sea level, pack the winter gear and clothes, you're in the the cold belt now! Lake Pleasant is fed by the Center Branch of the Sacandaga River. The lake is three miles long and two miles wide at a level of 1724 feet above sea level. The state stocks fish in it each spring. Just west of Lake Pleasant and north of NY 8 West, is Sacandaga Lake, not to be confused with the Great Sacandaga Lake in Fulton County by Northville/Mayfield.(I guess lake and mountain names tend to be re-used a lot in the 'Daks). Following the Sacandaga River north-east of town, downhill towards Wells, is the village x-country ski trail running alongside a snowmobile trail. It can be accessed by the village arena parking lot, across from the town beach. See map! There is a small family owned ski area east of the village center at the junction of NY 8 West. In the village center, there is pretty good shopping for a mountain village. Watch for deer on winter nights, I've had to shoo them away so I could get out of my parking space, in the village center! You can spend a wonderful day on all the lakes nearby starting with Lake Pleasant and Lake Lewey. Speculator Town Beach on NY 30 |
