Lamoka Lake Rtn. These launch sites are on either side of a CR23 road culvert giving access to the channel connecting Lamoka and Waneta Lakes. The road culvert will only allow small fishing boats to pass between Lamoka and Waneta lakes due to its limited height and width. There is a parking area adjacent to the launch sites.
Algae blooms occur regularly in summer causing turbidity.
Lamoka Lake is one of the most productive lakes in central New York, in terms of its flora and fauna. Very extensive weed beds provide habitat for a wide variety of warm water species, the most important of which are largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and chain pickerel. With the exception of smallmouth bass, all the predator species have excellent growth rate. This is one of the few relatively shallow lakes with such a forage base. This power station is fed from the north end of Waneta Lake through a large pipe system with a water head of approximately 280 feet.
