What is Mountain Lake Services?
Mountain Lake Services began in 1967 with 15 citizens who were concerned about the lack of support for people with developmental disabilities in their communities. From our beginning, providing vocational training at our work center, Essex Industries, through the development of residential and day services, we now offer a wide array of services to suit any need and capability.
Here at Mountain Lake Services our mission is to enrich the lives of people with developmental disabilities, their families and our communities. By offering a comprehensive range of services we ensure that we are indeed meeting the needs of the individuals we support, their families and our communities.

Here, at Mountain Lake Services, an important part of our mission is to enrich our communities. This past holiday season, to help fulfill this mission, we did our best to help families in need. We accomplished this in a number of ways. We called upon our employees to donate coats and boots. We participated in the Families First Christmas Giving Drive by supplying a number of children and families with holiday gifts. We also held a Food Drive, with donations going to the Ticonderoga Food Pantry. Read more...
