On Tuesday, April 25, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced temporary closures of Lake Flower and Lake Placid boat launch sites over the next two weeks for routine maintenance and cleaning.
The Lake Flower boat launch will close from April 25 to 27 and the Lake Placid boat launch will close May 8 to 12. Boaters can access Saranac Lake at the Upper and Lower boat launches. For more boat launches nearby, go to DEC’s website.

The DEC announces the closure in SL on the same day as the closure??? That is nice – if someone was on their way into town with a boat to launch there. The upper launch doesn’t even get you on the same lake… The lower launch is an inconvenient alternative, why not just a little more notice?
