Boats & marinas

Lanzi-family waterfront pub on the west side of the lake. Dock the boat, sit the patio, and eat Italian-American pub food with a view. Live music and a sports-bar crowd in season.…

Six rooms on the water at the Northville Bridge, with its own marina. Victorian dining room downstairs: NYS beers, wine, tapas, bakery desserts. This is an inn on the lake, not nea…

Hard-surface public launch off Route 30 with parking for about 60 cars and trailers. Accessible. Free to use; busy on Saturdays in July. Also a reasonable shore-fishing start.

Guided fishing on the lake — walleye, smallmouth, landlocked salmon, the occasional oversized pike. Book a trip instead of guessing structure on 29 miles of water.

Boater hangouts — islands and a stump field people raft up at in summer. Public water, mixed around private shoreline. No facilities, no lifeguard, and the bottom changes with the…

Another Lanzi waterfront, looking over Mussels Harbor at the south end. Indoor dining plus the Channel Bar — the outdoor bar people mean when they say they’re “at Lakeside.” Courte…

Third-generation seasonal marina with a lighted launch. Fishing-tournament friendly. South-end Broadalbin, not a ship’s-store mall.

Broadalbin boat club on Merriam Road. Membership and slips more than walk-up rentals.

DEC hard-surface launch about three miles northeast of the village on CR-110. Parking for about 60 cars and trailers. South-basin start for walleye and pike.

Seasonal lakeside bar, restaurant, and marina at the south end. People arrive by car, motorcycle, and boat. When it’s open, it’s open; when the season ends, the lights are out.

Northwest-shore full-service marina, formerly Thompson’s / Northampton Marine, on the water since 1952. Sales, docks, fuel, rentals, storage, ship’s store. A common staging point f…

Princecraft pontoon rentals and a full-service marina on Lakeside Drive. Deep launch, slips, picnic area. Shop hours are weekday-heavy; marina is often by appointment. Family Boat…

Lakeside Drive marina in the Mayfield cluster. Service and dockage rather than a tourist desk.

Route 30 marina in Mayfield. Slips and service on the west shore.

School Street marina in Mayfield. Independent, local, seasonal.

School Street marina in Mayfield, a few doors from Doc’s. Call for slips — walk-up weekends are a gamble.

Lakeside Drive marina next to the other Mayfield docks. Grandview is the name; the view is the lake.

South-end marina off Route 30 on Griffis Road. Slips and a self-service launch with a pass. Mailing address says Gloversville; the water is Great Sacandaga.

Private club on Lakeside Drive. Listed so you know it exists — it is not a public marina. Members and guests.

DEC campground on the northwest corner: pines and hardwoods, sandy shoreline, guarded swim in season, hard-surface launch, day-use for people not camping. Books out for July weeken…

Gated seasonal RV resort on the southwest shore with a long stretch of frontage, private beach, marina and launch, cafe, and planned summer events. Full-hookup sites. Not a drop-in…

Just south of the Northville Bridge in Sacandaga Park. Seasonal slips, winter storage, service. Family marina since 1958 — not a rental circus.

East-shore marina and powersports on North Shore Road. Rentals and service for people staying on that side of the lake who don’t want to run to Mayfield.

North-end marina in Hadley. Pontoons, kayaks, pedal boats. A practical rental if you’re on the Day/Hadley shore instead of the Mayfield cluster.

Ramp on Stewart’s Pond, the reservoir immediately downstream of the Conklingville Dam — not the main lake. People mix them up. Pike and smallmouth in moving water near the inflow.

Hard ramp on North Shore Road in Saratoga County with parking for about 40 cars and trailers. The north-end public launch — closer to deeper, cooler water.
