Saratoga Lake is a freshwater lake in the eastern part of Saratoga County, New York. The lake is approximately long, about wide at its widest point, and about deep.〔 The Lake is surrounded by the City of Saratoga Springs on the north west, the Town of Malta on the south west, the Town of Stillwater on the south east, and the Town of Saratoga on the north east. New York State Route 9P is a highway that runs along the southern end and eastern side of the lake, and then crosses its outlet in the north. The lake's major source is the Kayaderosseras Creek which enters the lake from the north west, and the outlet is Fish Creek, which exits the lake from the north and flows into the Hudson River at Schuylerville, New York. ==History== The name ''Saratoga'' is said to derive from the native ''Se-rach-ta-gue'', meaning ''hillside country of the great river''; however several completely different interpretations have been proposed. Archeological evidence shows Native American occupation dating back to 7000BC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Making History in Saratoga Springs: Health and Horses in the City, Ancient Settlements out by the Lake )〕 The first European to visit the lake may have been the Jesuit Isaac Jogues in 1642. The Saint Isaac Jogues Chapel, on the Lake in Stillwater, commemorates his mission. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saratoga Lake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
