Description
Canadice Lake is Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide at its widest point. The lake has a surface area of Шаблон:Convert and a maximum depth of Шаблон:Convert.[2] The lake drains out into Canadice Outlet, which merges with water from the neighboring Hemlock Lake.[3]
In 1873, the city of Rochester, New York was authorized to begin using the lake as a source of drinking water along with Hemlock Lake. A legal dispute with residents near the lake was resolved in favor of the city in 1886,[4] and a conduit line was constructed which brought water from the lake to the city beginning in 1919.[5] A treatment plant for the lake's water was opened in 1993.[6]
Recreation
The lake is still used as a water source for Rochester today. To protect the water quality, no houses are permitted on its shore and boats are limited to Шаблон:Convert in length and a must have a 10-horsepower engine or less. Swimming, camping and contamination of the water are prohibited.[2] Previously, a free permit was required to fish or boat on the lake, but that permit system has been discontinued and they are no longer required.[7]
Canadice Lake features several trout species for recreational fishing, including lake trout, brown trout and rainbow trout. All three trout species are annually stocked in the lake by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Landlocked Atlantic salmon are occasionally stocked as well.[2]
An unimproved gravel boat ramp is available for launching boats on the lake's east side, and a cartop launch is available at the south end of the lake.[2]
