On Wikipedia

Lake Gilead is a 116-acre (0.47 km2) lake located in Carmel Hamlet in Putnam County, New York. It has a mean depth of 43 feet (13 m) and is about 120 feet (37 m) deep at its greatest depth. The lake is located within the lower Hudson River basin. Lake Gilead is part of the New York City water system as a controlled lake. Ice fishing is allowed on Lake Gilead during the winter. Fish species present include (but are not limited too) largemouth bass, rainbow, lake and brown trout, chain pickerel, yellow perch, and panfish. In the 1990s a local fisherman illegally introduced northern pike, though they are rarely caught.
