Piseco (pronounced pi-SEE-ko) is a small hamlet in the Town of Arietta, in Hamilton County, New York, USA. The name "Piseco" is that of a Native American known to an early surveyor.
Located in the heart of the Adirondacks, the village is home to Piseco Lake and Piseco Airport (K09). It has a population of 200 (1990) and is located at Latitude 43°27'N and Longitude 74°31'W.
Piseco Lake is an excellent summer vacation location due to being a fully navigable lake approximately 7 miles long by 1 1/2 miles wide. There are three State Park Camp Grounds on the lake with boat launch facilities and a mixture of tent and trailer sites. The lake also features a large number of private summer homes some available for rent and other lodging options such as the Irodequoit Inn and Half Moon Beach.
Piseco also features the Piseco Yacht Club which runs weekly small sailboat races on the lake, which provides an impressive visual and permits visitors to join the races.
The Northville-Lake Placid Trail cuts through close proximity of the lake and airport. Three New York State Campgrounds are located on the shore of Piseco Lake (see links).
Excellent views of the lake can be found from the peak of Panther Mountain via Echo Cliffs.
