Lower St. Regis Lake Live Cam

Historical and Geological Evolution

Lower St. Regis Lake, nestled on the Paul Smith's College campus in the heart of the Adirondacks, is a striking example of nature’s artistry shaped by ancient glacial forces and centuries of human interaction. The lake’s formation, a remnant of glacial melt and subsequent sediment deposition, presents a fascinating study of geological evolution. Over millennia, the advancing and retreating glaciers sculpted the rugged contours of the Adirondack landscape, leaving behind deep basins that would eventually fill with pristine water. Today, the lake’s clear waters, reflective surfaces, and rocky shorelines stand as a testament to these powerful natural processes.
