Lake Eaton

Heading out? Conditions change fast and help can be hours away. What to bring ↓

Located in the town of Long Lake, NY. Lake Eaton is accompanied by a campground with several waterfront campsites available to be reserved. In our experience we've spotted several Common Loons on this lake, including 8 at one time! If you'd like to get out for a hike, there are some great trails located nearby, including Owls Head Mountain.

Before you go

Adirondack weather turns quickly, cell service is unreliable, and help can be hours away. Pick a plan that fits your group's fitness and experience.

A life jacket for everyone. New York requires wearing one in boats under 21 feet from November 1 to May 1, and children under 12 year-round
Clothes for the water temperature, not the air
A dry bag with extra layers, food, water and first aid
A whistle, a spare paddle, and a map of your route and carries
Check wind and weather, and stay close to shore when it builds
Clean, drain and dry your boat before moving to another water
Leave your route and return time with someone
Check the forecast and current conditions, and know when the sun sets
Turn back if weather worsens, someone is exhausted, or dark is coming

Plan on getting yourself out. Rangers can be hours away, cell service can't be counted on, and every rescue puts other people at risk. If someone is seriously hurt, lost or in danger, don't wait. Call 911 or DEC Forest Ranger Dispatch at 833-NYS-RANGERS (833-697-7264). Save that number before you leave. Read DEC's paddling guidance and current Adirondack backcountry conditions.
