Upper & Lower St. Regis Region Waterfront

Upper St. Regis Lake is a 742 acre lake found in Paul Smiths, NY. This lake became notable in the late 19th century when many of the American elite began to visit the area due to its beauty. It became the site for many summer cottages that are known as Great Camps. These camps had multiple buildings what included sleeping, dining, and game cabins.

Lower St Regis Lake is a 350 acre lake also found in Paul Smiths, NY. This lake was also notable to the late 19th century elite where they built more camps to enjoy the natural beauty of the Adirondacks.

Both of these lakes are part of the St. Region Chain of Lakes that also includes Spitfire Lake. Paddlers and anglers will be able to enjoy full days on the water as Upper St. Regis Lake flows into Spitfire Lake then into Lower St. Regis Lake.

During the summer months these lakes provide some amazing boating, paddling, fishing and some camping throughout the chain. During the winter months when the lake is frozen locals and visitors can be seen snowmobiling, ice fishing and cross country skiing.
