About Lake Moraine

Lake Moraine, located in Madison County, New York, is 251 acres in size and offers many recreational activities, including swimming, boating, and camping. 

The Chenango Canal was opened in 1836 to connect the Erie Canal to the Susquehanna River, Utica to Binghamton. Madison Brook was dammed up to create Madison Reservoir as a water source for the new canal. Soon after becoming a popular recreational site, Madison Reservoir was renamed Lake Moraine in 1905, in recognition of the glacial moraines on its shores. 

Often the "Ladies of the Lake" will host events so everyone in the area can come together and relish in old and new friendships. They will usually take part in activities such as knitting and storytelling.

Lake Moraine Association hosts a picnic where everybody in the Lake Moraine community can have a good time and socialize with new members. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish to share, and generally, dishes like grilled chicken, pulled pork, salted potatoes, coleslaw, rolls, sweet tea, and lemonade are served.

Every year the NYSDEC stocks Lake Moraine with over 780 tiger musky. The Lake Moraine Association has also started an experimental walleye stocking in the Lake in an attempt to reduce the number of panfish. With fewer panfish, the number of aquatic invertebrates that feed on Eurasian watermilfoil should increase in the Lake, thus helping to control the watermilfoil naturally.

Owning a home on Lake Moraine is the perfect way to enjoy a plethora of activities you and the whole family can enjoy. Whether you are looking to get more involved in the community, go fishing, or even go camping Lake Moraine will no doubt furfill all of your lake desires.
