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.
