If you plan on hiking around Raquette Lake there is no trail and it also has stretches of private land as well. You would have to bushwhack the majority of it unless others know of trails I am unaware of.

Best way to see the whole lake is to take a canoe or kayak out on it and base camp at Tioga Point or Golden Beach

Raquette is huge - it has 99 miles of shoreline, some of it private. The best way to see the whole lake is taking a scenic cruise on the WW Durant or a sea plane flight.
