Truesdale Lake, New York

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Truesdale is a lake located in the village of South Salem, New York. South Salem is in the town of Lewisboro in the northeast corner of Westchester County.

The lake is just under one mile long and about 3/8ths of a mile across at its widest point. The primary water flow into the lake comes from the swamp on Pumping Station Road in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

The Truesdale Lake Property Owners Association (TLPOA), a private and exclusive club with 20 summer time residents, created the 83.3 acre lake in 1927 by damming a stream and flooding a small pond and surrounding swamp.
