Long Lake 🗺️
About Long Lake ....
The Long Lake located in the central Adirondacks of New York is a natural lake. Geologically speaking, it is not a standalone basin, but rather a 14-mile-long glacial widening of the Raquette River. It flows along a natural, northeast-trending fault line that was scoured and widened by the Laurentide Glacier approximately 14,800 years ago. Because it is essentially a highly enlarged, slow-moving section of the river, it remains relatively shallow despite being surrounded by high mountain peaks.
