Poplar Point is no longer a paid campsite, but remains open as a picnic area and no-fee boat launch facility.

How to get there

From the intersection of Routes 8 and 30 in Speculator, drive west on Route 8 for 8.9 miles. Turn right onto Old Piseco Road and drive for 3.9 miles to reach Poplar Point, located on the left side of the road. There is parking for up to 15 vehicles and trailers.

Boat launch

Motorboats, rowboats, canoes, kayaks, and SUPs can all launch here. The hard surface, concrete launch site easily allows most larger boats to put into the lake. There is a hand launch for smaller boats. 

Fishing

Piseco Lake is known for its land-locked salmon population, large lake trout ("lakers"), and numerous bass in the weed beds around the lake.
