Stretching forty-two miles across 26,730 acres and reaching depths reported to approach seventy-five feet, this reservoir is often cited as the strongest walleye fishery in the Adirondack Park. The lake supports a diverse population that includes smallmouth and largemouth bass, northern pike, and yellow perch, with multiple launches and marinas distributed along its considerable shoreline. Current NYSDEC regulations apply, and the combination of ample access and varied structure makes it well-suited to anglers at the beginner level, though its size rewards those willing to learn its contours.
