Piseco, New York

Piseco, New York

Piseco is a small hamlet in the Town of Arietta, in Hamilton County, New York, USA. The name Piseco is that of a Native American known to an early surveyor.

Located in the heart of the Adirondacks, the village is home to Piseco Lake and Piseco Airport (K09). It has a population of 200 (1990) and is located at Latitude 43°27'N and Longitude 74°31'W.

Piseco Lake is an excellent summer vacation location due to being a fully navigable lake approximately 7 miles long by 1 1/2 miles wide. The lake features a large number of private summer homes; some available for rent and other lodging options such as the Irodequoit Inn, Piseco Lake Lodge, and Half Moon Beach.

Piseco Lake also features the Piseco Yacht Club which runs weekly small sailboat races on the lake. These races provide an impressive visual display and are open to locals and visitors alike. Question: where is the yacht club located?

The residents of Piseco Lake have a favorite hangout spot which is the sandbar. People anchor their boats on the sandbar and spend the day swimming and eating. The sandbar is located near Point Comfort State Park.

The Northville-Placid Trail runs in close proximity to Piseco Lake and the airport. Three excellent New York State Campgrounds are located on the northwest shore of Piseco Lake (see links below). The campgrounds feature a good mixture of tent and trailer sites. All of the campgrounds have a boat launch facility.

Excellent views of Piseco Lake and the surrounding area can be found from the peak of Panther Mountain. The climb up takes about 45 minutes. The trailhead is just west of the entrance of Little Sand Point campground. The climb gets steeper near the top and involves scrambling up larger rocks. The view from the top is worth the extra effort of the last steep section. Younger children can easily make the climb and this is a very popular family activity.

The village of Speculator, New York is 10 miles east of Piseco Lake.
