Cranberry Lake is a lake of about 7,000 acres in St. Lawrence County, one of the largest lakes in the Adirondack Park.
We rent MasterCraft wakesurf boats, Sea-Doo jet skis and water toys on Cranberry Lake, and everything is ready for you at the lake. Add a captained charter with lessons for every level.
Most of its long, winding shoreline is state forest preserve, so it feels wild and remote, with the small hamlet of Cranberry Lake on the north end.

New York boating rules to know
- Every boat needs a wearable life jacket for each person on board. Children under 12 must wear one while the boat is underway unless they're in an enclosed cabin, and everyone on a jet ski or being towed must wear one. Inflatable life jackets don't count for jet skis or towing.
- Towing a skier, wakeboarder or tuber requires an observer at least 10 years old besides the driver, and towing is only allowed between sunrise and sunset.
- Jet skis can only run between sunrise and sunset, the engine cut-off lanyard must be attached to the driver, and some lakes and towns add their own jet ski limits near shore.
- Keep to 5 mph near shore, docks, rafts and anchored boats, and follow each lake's posted speed limits, often 45 mph by day and 25 mph at night.
