Ummm, you may wish to look at Lake Desolation, which shouldn't be too far from Ticonderoga.  You can park in a public parking area and follow an Encon trail to the lake where, I believe, they may still have campgrounds and picnic tables.  Fishing should be good, but there be bear in the area and they like fish too.  HTH.  Mikey.
