Piseco Outlet is a small but important waterway in New York State. It acts like a natural drain for Piseco Lake, carrying its water away. This stream then flows into another river, the West Branch Sacandaga River. It is located near the town of Piseco, in a beautiful area called the Adirondacks.

What is Piseco Outlet?

Piseco Outlet is a short river that starts at Piseco Lake. It is like the lake's exit point. The water from the lake flows out through this outlet. It then joins with the West Branch Sacandaga River. This meeting point is in the town of Piseco, New York.

How Water Flows

The outlet does not drop much in height. From where it leaves Piseco Lake to where it meets the West Branch Sacandaga River, the water only goes down about 49 ft (15 m). This small drop means the water flows fairly gently.

Where is Piseco Outlet?

This waterway is found in Hamilton County, New York. It is part of the larger Adirondack Park. The Adirondacks are a famous region known for their mountains, forests, and many lakes and rivers. Piseco Outlet is one of the many streams that help connect these natural features.
