Sackett Lake, NY

Sackett Lake is a spring-fed lake with a circumference of about 5 miles. In the center it is about 30-40 feet deep with a clean sandy bottom.  Sackett Lake is a private lake which gives access only to homeowners in the Sackett Lake area who have deeded lake rights. 

Charley & Mary Winston originally owned a lot of property including Camp Roosevelt.  In 1934 Charley Winston built the dam which made Sackett Lake a more viable body of water.  The lake feeds into Winston Pond which is located behind Roberts Road and is strictly used for fishing. Last year Sackett Lake was purchased and is now being maintained by the Volunteer Firemen’s Department.  A homeowners’ association has been formed to aid in the beautification of the lake area and to keep the lake stocked.  

There is no public access or boat launch, but there is a private beach for those homeowners that do not own lakefront property. 

Camelot Woods is a community  located off of Winston Drive accomodating 160 completely detached single family homes with amenities such as a pool, clubhouse and tennis courts.   This community also owns a parcel on the lake and it is used by the residents of Camelot Woods to launch their boats for fishing and boating anjoyment.
