Looking South from the  Bridge over  Lake Algonquin

Adirondack Real Estate in Wells and Lake Algonquin

Wells is a good little hamlet and town stretching for about three miles along Lake Algonquin, a town owned lake that was created by damming the Sacandaga River. It is a much larger town than Hope and Benson. There is a 40 mph speed zone, a real sidewalk on the west side of the road and a small but free sandy town beach at the foot of the bridge. Also the town maintains a free dock and boat launch on the west side of the lake. West of the hamlet, along a dead end town road, West River Road, is Whitehouse, where a famous old hunting camp used to be. All that is left is a lone chimney, the "famous" Whitehouse chimney Now the state owns the land and it's open to the public. The Northville-Lake Placid Trail can be accessed here. Warning, watch out for black bears, don't leave food around or act like they are tame animals!

The area was first settled around 1798. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 178.4 square miles, of which, 177.2 square miles of it is land and 1.2 square miles is water. There are also properties available on Willis Lake and Charlie Lake. Charlie Lake is a non-motorized lake for quiet and cleanliness.
