Offered for the first time in nearly 100 years, Forestmere is a classic 660 acre preserve located just 5 miles north of Paul Smiths in the Town of Brighton. Mile-long Chain Lake is the centerpiece of this sportman’s/family retreat together with Clear Lake, Spring Pond, brook trout ponds and extensive frontage on the Osgood River. Ultimate privacy and a fisherman’s paradise offering trophy bass and pike.  The main lodge with 9 bedrooms and 5 full baths was constructed in the early 1920’s and overlooks Chain Lake to the south. Spacious living and dining rooms – each with a cut-stone fireplace lend an aura of Great Camp style. A 3-slip boathouse affords storage for boats and fishing gear.
