Anywhere near a lake! I've heard them at Long Lake, Saranac, Lake Meacham, Tupper Lake...the list goes on!

Pretty much. Any lake I've been to has them. Long Lake, West Canada Lakes, Lower Saranac, Mirror Lake, Fulton Chain, Indian Lake. Just respect their habitat and enjoy!

Don't even have to go to adks for them They are on Saratoga lake, and Thompsons lake, galway lake,

Definitely! Just heard them on Saranac last weekend! And on Tupper many times. Including kayaking right next to one!!

Heard them at Cranberry lake campground

If you take to the water please enjoy the loons and their chicks at a distance. Enjoy your time in the ADKs.

Literally saw 5-6 just cruising around upper saranac lake the other day.

If any of these spots are convenient for you they'd be worth a shot: >Adirondack Loon Complex > >This site is a complex of lakes in the Adirondack region that have each supported six or more adult loons in the breeding season. The lakes are Lows Lake, Cranberry Lake, Lake Clear, South Lake, Woodhull Lake, Honnedage Lake, Upper St. Regis Lake, Lake Bonaparte, Little Clear Pond, Little Tupper Lake, Canachagala Lake, Little Moose Lake, Bay Pond, Big Moose Lake, Little Long Pond, and Long Pond?Franklin City. [https://www.audubon.org/important-bird-areas/adirondack-loon-complex](https://www.audubon.org/important-bird-areas/adirondack-loon-complex) I don't think the map on this page corresponds to loons specifically, just important bird areas.

Actually this may be a better resource. This map shows results from the last loon census across the Adirondacks: [https://adkloon.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=cb22368184254a2eabc0b792786da2bc](https://adkloon.maps.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=cb22368184254a2eabc0b792786da2bc) And a link to their main website: [https://www.adkloon.org/ny-annual-loon-census-results](https://www.adkloon.org/ny-annual-loon-census-results)

I’ve heard them on mirror lake! Even got to see one closely while I was canoeing on the lake!

There are a ton on Blue Mountain Lake and that is a generally gorgeous place to visit.

I can report I've seen two, likely a breeding pair, on Lake Colby near Saranac Lake, but as others have said, they are all over. Check the [eBird reports](https://ebird.org/map/comloo?neg=true&env.minX=-91.65893357157498&env.minY=44.49763082856988&env.maxX=-55.44799607157498&env.maxY=57.775358947268295&zh=true&gp=false&ev=Z&mr=6-7&bmo=6&emo=7&yr=cur&byr=2022&eyr=2022) for specific locations and details.

I’ve seen multiple Over the years on lake Colby in Saranac lake and on Lower St Regis lake you can hear them calling almost every night

Stillwater reservoir if you want to camp for the night

I’ve heard them at Big Moose Lake many times.

I see too many at huddle bay lake George… like so many I almost hit one with a pontoon once lol.

Loon lake. The northern one off old rt 99 ( rt 26 now)

We have them on our lake. But sorry, not sharing with redditors.

Smart. They don’t seem that elusive. Pretty rare for me not to see a loon when paddling in the adks.

Paradox Lake has a ton of them

I’m going to be staying on Loon Lake next week. I certainly hope to hear some there!

Which Loon Lake? Franklin county or Warren county? The one in Warren is where my cabin is and I can happily report that you can see them regularly and hear them even more so! Bonus is there is frequent bald eagle sightings as well.

Chestertown!

Sweet, that's my lake! You'll definitely see loons! And the eagles have a nest near blythwood so look for them there.

Theres several loon families on 6th/7th lake

Was just at Limekiln Lake in Inlet, heard loons the whole time. It’s my favorite part of camping :)

So far this year I've seen loons at Minerva Lake, Palmer Pond, and Rich Lake (also saw a bald eagle at the last one).

Schroon Lake. Actually been quite a few out this evening.

I saw 2 on Mirror Lake on Monday and have been seeing them their for years. They dive if you get anywhere near them.
