Cornell and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation are launching a new, three-year walleye telemetry study on the lake. The aim?
“This information will be used to improve DEC’s understanding and management of walleye in the state’s third-most fished lake,” Steve Hurst, chief of the DEC’s Bureau of Fisheries, said.

Rayhill Memorial Recreational Trail, which is adjacent to a large mitigation pond.
“We are not against gun owners or hunters or trappers,” town supervisor Paul Miscione said. “We just can’t have it in our parks and playgrounds.”
