Home Details for Lakes Road

Walton Lake is a reservoir located in Monroe NY, accessible from Lakes Road. Yesterday was the first day of the Memorial Day weekend and it was a great morning for a paddle. As I was moving my canoe down the lake, I thought it was a perfect time to share information about this spot again. Walton Lake is a great place for fishing. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation stocks the lake annually with close to 4,000 brown trout. The DEC website also indicates the lake contains bass (largemouth, smallmouth, rock), trout, pickerel, bluegill and yellow perch. Yesterday morning there were five other boats on the lake, several with fishing rods in evidence In addition to fishing, boating is allowed as well. Specifically canoes, kayaks, and any other non-motor boats. Because this is a reservoir, gasoline powered boats are not allowed. The lake is about a mile long, so rowing from one end to the other can provide a bit of exercise for those who want it! There is a parking lot which has room for about ten cars, but there are also some spots to park along and across the road. This property originally consisted of one pre-existing lot, which the owner has since subdivided into two additional lots. The driveways are conveniently located right off Lakes Road, offering elevated positions with beautiful lake views. Homeowners will also enjoy the added benefit of lake access directly across the driveways on Lakes Road.
