Paradox Lake

Living on Paradox Lake means embracing a peaceful rhythm and an intimate connection with nature. From morning paddles through glassy waters to evenings gathered around the fire pit under a canopy of stars, life here is defined by simplicity and serenity. Residents enjoy sweeping mountain views, calm coves for swimming and fishing, and a sense of timeless Adirondack tradition. It’s a lifestyle that fosters both relaxation and adventure, in perfect balance.

Tucked Away, Yet Easy to Reach

Paradox Lake feels like a hidden oasis, but it’s conveniently located just 10 minutes from Schroon Lake village and 30 minutes from Ticonderoga. Interstate 87 is minutes away, providing direct routes north to Lake Placid and south to Albany and New York City. While the lake is largely quiet and lightly developed, you’re never far from essentials like markets, restaurants, and cultural attractions, making it ideal for both vacationers and year-round residents.

Four Seasons of Wilderness Recreation

Spring through fall, Paradox Lake is a paddler’s paradise, with calm waters, fishing opportunities, and backdoor access to hiking trails in the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness. The lake’s irregular shoreline and protected bays make it ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. In the colder months, the region transforms into a snowy playground for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing. Paradox Lake offers year-round outdoor fun in a setting that always feels uncrowded and natural.
