HEMLOCK LAKE BOATING GUIDE

Length:7 miles
Width:0.5 miles
Depth:91 feet

 

Just 25 miles south of Rochester, Hemlock Lake offers a unique experience in the Finger Lakes where most lakeshores are developed. The beautifully wooded shorelines and hillsides of Hemlock and smaller Sister lake, Canadice Lake, provide an atmosphere often experienced only in more remote areas. A boat size/horsepower limitation contributes importantly to the “unspoiled” atmosphere. Because the lake is a water source to Rochester, shore development is restricted and boats can be no longer than 16 feet and outboard motors no larger than 10 horsepower. Swimming is not permitted in the lake.
