Depends on what your going for... You have south bay on lake champlain in WHitehall, that is good for perch, you have cossayuna lake in Southern Washington county, you have grafton lake, burden lake in Rennsalear.

No such place as "Grafton Lake".  There are 4 ponds within the state Park named Long pond, Middle pond, Shaver pond, and Mill Pond.  Why do people feel the need to just post for the sake of posting   ::)

As far as locations to fish in either county.  You have many options depending on what you want to fish for. 

Trout--All the Grafton ponds with exception to Mill. 

Walleye--Tomhannock reservior or Burden lake or Champlain

Panfish--really any body of water can be productive if your willing to do your homework.

Pike--Cossayuna or Burden.  A couple of places on the Hudson guys pike fish too.

tiger Musky--Cossayuna or lake Lauderdale

Apologies if I offended with my typing. I meant to type Grafton park but had limited time to get my post out.  :P

Rumored to have some descent perch fishing on the bigger pond but that is hear say.  I live jsut a few miles away from them but never have fished them.  Each year I say I may try it but I don't think I really want to eat anything coming out of the Hoosic.   :sick:

North Greenbush. Get off exit 8 of I-90 take a left at the second set of lights (route 4). Take a right at the next light (Bloomingrove I think). Stay to your right at the fork in the road, go a few miles and bear left at the next fork. Lake is on the right.
