Answers
About the New York lakes list
How many New York lakes have their own page?
338, and 250 of them carry a DEC species list while 243 show DEC stocking records.
Which is the largest lake with a page?
Lake Champlain, about 277,117 acres of open water in the NHD outline.
Where are the smaller named ponds?
931 more named lakes and ponds publish too little for a page of their own and appear on their county page instead.
Which data sets build these lake pages?
NYS Hydrography outlines, the DEC Recommended Fishing Lakes list, DEC launch and angler parking layers, DEC stocking lists on data.ny.gov, the 2026 DEC regulations and USGS gauges.
Are Lake Erie and Lake Ontario on this list?
No; the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence and the Niagara have their own pages in the Great Lakes section.
Why does a county follow some lake names?
Several New York lakes share a name, so the county, or a nearby town, tells them apart.
Why does a lake appear without a link?
Lake pages are released a batch at a time, and the link turns on when the page goes live.
Do the lake pages list depths?
No. DEC does not publish depths in its open data, so no depth figures are shown.
