Here, mornings begin with mist rising from the water and loons echoing across the lake, while evenings are spent stargazing by the fire. With much of the shoreline conserved as state land, homeowners enjoy an exceptionally private and scenic setting. The lake is ideal for quiet reflection, family bonding, and recreational activities that embrace the outdoors in every season.
Hidden in Nature, Yet Close to Long Lake
Though Lake Eaton feels tucked away in the forest, it’s just a five-minute drive from the hamlet of Long Lake via NY Route 30. This ideal location provides a balance of seclusion and convenience—residents enjoy privacy and quiet, yet can quickly access restaurants, shops, a grocery store, and medical services. The nearby Lake Eaton State Campground also offers a boat launch and public day-use area, while most of the lake remains delightfully uncrowded.
A Year-Round Retreat for Outdoor Enthusiasts
Lake Eaton offers excellent opportunities for paddling, canoeing, and fishing during the spring, summer, and fall months. The lake is especially well-known for trout and salmon fishing, as well as peaceful flatwater for kayaking. Hiking trails along the Northville-Placid Trail and Owls Head Mountain are minutes away, offering elevated views of the surrounding region. In winter, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and backcountry adventures are easily accessed from the lake’s edge, making Lake Eaton a true four-season destination.
