About Round Lake

Tucked away in Saratoga County, Round Lake is a quiet village wrapped around the circular lake that shares its name. Home to just over 800 residents, the community originally started in the late 1800s as a summer camp meeting ground. As canvas tents were replaced with ornate Victorian cottages, the seasonal retreat evolved into one of the most distinctive, walkable enclaves in the Capital Region.

That historic summer-resort spirit is still unmistakable today. Bright gingerbread cottages line narrow, pedestrian-friendly streets where front-porch chats are part of the daily routine. With the paved Zim Smith Trail cutting right through town, a historic auditorium hosting community concerts, and the water just steps away, Round Lake offers a tranquil, storybook setting for anyone looking for small-town warmth within an easy commute of Saratoga Springs and Albany.
