About Upper Saranac Marina

Tucked along the quiet shoreline of Fish Creek Ponds, Upper Saranac Lake Marina is your gateway to one of the Adirondacks’ most expansive and unspoiled waterways. From first-time visitors to lifelong boaters, we help people experience the wild beauty of Upper Saranac Lake and the surrounding backcountry—on their own terms.

Unlike the more developed Lower Saranac Lake region, Upper Saranac offers a distinctly different kind of Adirondack experience: quieter waters, deeper wilderness access, and a true sense of escape. With direct access to Upper Saranac Lake, Fish Creek, Rollins Pond, and beyond, our marina puts you at the center of a vast network of lakes, ponds, and campsites waiting to be explored.

Upper Saranac Lake has long been a destination for those seeking adventure, solitude, and connection to nature. With miles of shoreline, remote campsites, and access to historic carry routes once used by early Adirondack guides and sportsmen, this area represents the classic North Country experience.


Your Launch Point for Exploration

Conveniently located next to Fish Creek Campground, our marina is uniquely positioned for campers and visitors looking to get out on the water quickly and easily.

We offer a full range of services designed to support your time on the lake, including:

Upper Saranac Lake offers access to Follensby Clear Pond, Little Square Pond, Square Pond, and Fish Creek Campground by boat. This water system is separate from Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes, which are accessible from Saranac Lake Marina on Lower Saranac Lake.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing day on the water, a fishing trip, or a multi-day camping adventure, we make it easy to get there.

  • Dependable, regularly serviced boats and equipment

  • Up-to-date guidance on lake conditions and local regulations
