Town of Edinburg (original) (raw)

The Town of Edinburg is located within the Adirondack Park on the shores of the Great Sacandaga Lake in northwestern Saratoga County, NY.

The first recorded settlers arrived in the Sacandaga River Valley area via Fish House in 1787. The lake, (Sacandaga Reservoir) was created in the 1920's when the gates closed at the Conklingville Dam in March of 1930.

Today the shores of the reservoir, renamed the Great Sacandaga Lake in the 1960s, are dotted with hundreds of seasonal and year-round homes. The town is divided by the lake and is connected by the 3,000-foot Batchellerville Bridge.

The area offers boating and water sports, snowmobiling and winter sports. The nearby Adirondack Mountains provide hiking and camping opportunities. Edinburg is within 35 minutes of Saratoga Springs, 45 minutes of Lake George and only an hour from Albany.
