Cranberry Lake, despite being one of the largest lakes in the Adirondacks, has mostly been preserved, because most of the land is owned by the state of New York. Cranberry Lake also has plenty of ponds and mountains which have trails for extensive hiking. Experienced hikers can enjoy the Cranberry Lake 50, a 50-mile hike around the Lake.
