Lake Abanakee

Nestled in the Adirondacks

Lake Abanakee is a shallow, four-mile-long lake located between Indian Lake and the Hudson River. It is approximately 360 acres in size and rests in one of the valleys of the Adirondack mountains.

Surrounded by beautiful wilderness, this lake contains a series of small islands, exposed and subsurface structures, and a variety of weed beds.

Lake Abanakee is located approximately two hours away from the state's capital, Albany.

Fishing

On Lake Abanakee, anglers can expect to catch various fish from northern pike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch. Due to the natural habitats, weed beds, and shallow waters, this lake is the perfect environment for these fish species. Anglers report catching relatively large-sized fish and are overall pleased with the quality of fish caught.

The lake's shallower waters, smaller aluminum watercraft, and shallow boats are the best transportation way. Kayaking and canoeing are also fun ways to get around the lake and allow you to take in the natural scenery.
