Carl, We were in the Adirondacks earlier this summer, and spent one night on Blue Mountain Lake, which is just about in the center of the park. While there were houses on parts of the shore, long stretches were still wooded, and there were many wooded islands on the lake (but many were posted). Also, the few businesses were confined to one end of the lake. I went out for a couple hours in a rented Looksha, and had a great paddle. A few motor boats, but not many. They were certainly outnumbered by the canoes and kayaks. We stayed at a great lodge called the Hedges, which has its own secluded cove. Very nice, and I know we'll be back. Blue Mountain Lake connects to at least two others. My wife and I canoed to the next one (Racquet Lake?) which had only a few houses visible from the shore...and we were the only ones on the lake that Sunday morning. Don't know what the next one was like.
