Who we are
Adirondack Land and Lake Aviation operates Round Lake Airport and Seaplane Base (W57). We care about safe, practical flying on land and water for local pilots and carefully coordinated visitors.
The airport
W57 combines a turf runway with a water runway on Round Lake — uncommon flexibility for a small New York field. The airport has long served general aviation in Saratoga County as a privately owned, public-use facility.
The eagle
Our line is simple: fly like an eagle… with an eagle. It reflects pride in this place and the craft — not a stock slogan from a theme pack.
The setting
Round Lake sits in the southern Adirondack region of upstate New York. Expect changing lake conditions, trees near the runway environment, and a non-towered pattern that rewards good planning.
Contact
Reach Adirondack Land and Lake Aviation before you launch — especially for seaplane arrivals.
Call before seaplane arrival. Coordinate with the manager before operating on the water runway.
