Lake Flower is not a natural lake. It is a portion of the Saranac River backed up behind this dam. Lake Flower is named after Gov. Roswell P. Flower. How did a guy from Watertown ever get elected Gov. of NY? The Saranac Lake riverwalk starts at this site.
Red building on the left is the village waterworks. Building on the right is the village offices and police station. Yes, the dam is useful. It runs mechanical pumps to pump water up to the nearby reservoir and there is a generator that supplies electricity to the village sewage treatment plant.
