SO beautiful and peaceful! Water is calm and easy. Great fun, very impressed with the facilities and options. Very busy but plenty of room on the lake that you never feel crowded.

Fished here as a kid in the 70s and 80s before all the new stuff was added it did have a gravel ramp to launch a boat and that was all. I guess all the new stuff was inevitable but while nice it lost some of the charm it had from my youth. I miss the way it was and I guess I always will

Ideal for kayaking, boating and peddling, but not for picnic. Need some improvements to make it a great place for family recreation!

New public boat ramp located next to Lake Pelham Adventures and the Old Country Store, right off of Rte. 29. State and local boating permits required, along w/ life jackets and whistles. Boat rentals at Lake Pelham Adventures (paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, pedal boats); lakeside pavilion rental from the Old Country Store (closed Sundays, I think).Both of the other older boat ramps appeared to be closed the last time I was out. The one to the north seemed to be cordoned off for now, due to construction. (Dam repair?) The other one used to be off of the SW branch of the lake, I think. Water level was too low, and the whole thing was filled with water lilies or something similar when I was there.My husband and I came across what may be Pectinatella magnifica freshwater bryozoa when we were out last. Ive been meaning to ask around and see if someone could confirm that. If you dont know what those are, they are sort-of, er, like a freshwater sponge-like creature. At first, you might think they are plastic bag trash floating on the surface -- until you get a closer look. Hadnt seen those before. It was weird.Anyway, nice, peaceful lake, for the most part, although toward the northern end is a subdivision on a hill and some sort of water intake pump. Otherwise, mostly quiet; large houses, mostly trees and some farmland.Oh yeah, and I think that fishing is permitted, with local and state licenses. =)
