Lake Pleasant is the county seat, with Sacandaga Lake (not to be confused with Great Sacandaga Lake) to the northwest and Lake Pleasant to the southwest. The Greek Revival-style county courthouse is next to a stone jail built in 1848 and still in use. The barbecue grill in the back is used to feed jailors and jailed in good weather. Across the road is a nine-hole golf course with lake views. The only incorporated village in the county, Speculator, is located in the Town of Lake Pleasant.
