Queechy Lake
Queechy Lake is a lake in Canaan, Columbia County, New York. Situated near the Massachusetts state border, the lake is deep and contains a surface area of .
The name comes from the Native American Mahican name Quis-sich-kook, of unknown meaning.〔(Aboriginal place names of New York, By William Martin Beauchamp, page 48 )〕
The lake is located near two major roads, New York State Route 295 and New York State Route 22. Among the present fish species are brown bullhead, brown trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass, rainbow trout, black crappie and yellow perch. Queechy Lake is a natural body of water; however, sometime prior to 1910, the water levels were raised as a result of the construction of a dam along the Stony Kill, a tributary of Queechy Lake. The purpose of the dam was to store water that would supply mills located downstream. In the early 17th Century, a summer of dry weather contributed to decreased water levels, which exposed a muddy surface at the lower end of the lake.
