Lake Flower is a 300-acre (1.2 km²) lake in Franklin County and Essex County in the Adirondacks; it was created by damming the Saranac River in 1827. It was originally called the Mill Pond, but was later named for New York Governor Roswell P. Flower. It is the only lake within the village of Saranac Lake. The village and the lake are divided between the towns of Harrietstown and North Elba.
