Anytime is good time for a hike, especially when the blueberries are ripe along the Adirondack North Country Scenic Byways
Lake Algonquin
Adirondack Trail, State Rt. 30, near Speculator in Hamilton County
Lake Algonquin is the center of the small hamlet of Wells, easily seen from Route 30, with a few nice boating access points.
Wells is a nice hamlet stretching for about three miles along Lake Algonquin, a town owned lake that is yet another dammed up part of the Sacandaga River. To the north, there’s a small but free sandy town lake beach at the foot of the Route 30 bridge. Also, the town maintains a free dock and boat launch on the west side of the lake.
