Lake Shenorock

New York, United States

Lake Shenorock is a class B lake located in the hamlet of Shenorock in the town of Somers, New York. It was used for fishing and recreational swimming until the Clean Water Act was passed in 1972 and the lake became a source of drinking water, ending swimming in 1977. The outfall of the lake drains into the Amawalk Reservoir, a part of the New York City water supply system. There are no major tributaries to the lake. Like the hamlet, the lake is named after Shawanórõckquot, a Wiechquaeskeck sachem of the Wappinger people.
