Cochran's Cabins sits on Kiwassa Lake in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, part of the expansive Saranac Chain of Lakes system near Saranac Lake village. The property offers cabin accommodations with on-site boat rentals (canoes, kayaks, motorboats) and arranges guided fishing trips and multi-day canoe-camping expeditions to Lower and Middle Saranac Lake. The fishery supports northern pike, brown trout, bass, perch, whitefish, and panfish year-round; summer brings open-water boat fishing while winter ice fishing is a signature draw (PBS filmed an ice fishing segment here). The Saranac Chain has hosted ESPN's Great Outdoor Games Bass Fishing Tournament, underscoring its reputation for quality angling in a scenic mountain setting.
