Data from Cedar Eden Report (2004). Waccabuc volume corrected.
Our lakes are surrounded by privately owned land, so there is no public access to the lakes. Many of the off-lake residents with deeded lake access have access through lands owned by lake associations. The Waccabuc Country Club also has lake access at its beach club.
