The Bisby Lakes are a collection of lakes southwest of Bisby Lodge in Herkimer County, New York. The lakes have a marshy area around them, with a few residences and piers. Boating and fishing are legal on all lakes. The lakes are a part of Black River Wild Forest. The lakes are not stocked with fish, but brook trout, lake trout, splake, white sucker, bullhead, and yellow perch are native to the lakes.
