Deep within the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness, this 444-acre backcountry water—accessible only by trail—offers one of the region's more remote angling experiences. The lake is reported to reach depths of seventy feet and to hold populations of lake trout and smallmouth bass, though the hike-in access keeps fishing pressure light. Current regulations from the NYSDEC apply, and those willing to make the trek often find the combination of solitude and scenery as rewarding as the fishing itself.
