For nearly one hundred years, the land around Saranac Lake Islands, near Lake Placid in upstate New York, was available for leasing. Families and individuals built camping platforms all around the lake, but these remained private. These leases eventually expired in 1974, and the state of New York took over to offer the same camping opportunities to the public.
