Woodland Avenue

From Historic Saranac Lake Wiki


In 1910, the road that starts at the Lake Flower dam at foot of Main Street and runs south down the western shore of the lake was called Maple Street. The first left off of Maple Street going south (that is, the section now called Riverside Drive), where Maple drifted away from the lake, was Woodland Avenue. By 1917, the northernmost section of Maple Street, together with all of Woodland Avenue, had been renamed Riverside Drive. By 1928, Maple Street had been renamed Kiwassa Road. In 2004, when the village addresses were changed in the implementation of the 911 Emergency Response System, the northernmost section was renamed Kiwassa Road, so that now, Riverside Drive starts at Kiwassa.
