About Chateaugay Lake

Near the Canadian Border

Chateaugay Lake consists of two lake sections and a narrow waterway that connects them.

Upper Chateaugay is considerably larger, at 2,594 acres in size and a shoreline of 18.3 miles. Upper Chateaugay Lake is also deeper than its southern neighbor, with an average depth of 33 feet and a maximum of 78 feet.

In comparison, Lower Chateaugay Lake is only 545 acres in size, with a 4.5 miles shoreline. The two lakes are connected by a relatively wide channel known as the Chateaugay Narrows.

Chateaugay Lake is near Malone's local village and is about 35 minutes away from the Canadian border.

Perfect for Recreation

Chateaugay Lake is excellent for boating, swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and more.

The Upper Lake is excellent for sailing and savoring views of the Adirondack Mountains. It is home to lake and rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, smallmouth bass, loons, and bald eagles.

The Lower Lake is perfect for water sports like water skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing. You can travel between the two lakes very easily by boat.

High Falls Park

High Falls Park is near Chateaugay Lake and features a beautiful, four-tiered, 120-foot waterfall near the Adirondack Mountains. The hike to the waterfall is only a 1.5-mile round trip, which takes about an hour for the average hiker.

It is a beautiful, natural scene painted by nature for residents of Chateaugay Lake to access quickly.

Live in the Adirondacks

Whether you are looking to buy a family home, a full-time retirement residence, or a vacation rental, Chateaugay Lake is an excellent choice.
