| : Cheshire Reservoir |
This 418-acre, privately owned lake, located on the western side of Route 8, is also known as
Hoosac Reservoir. It is divided into three basins by a pair of causeways. The south basin is
extremely shallow, the middle basin has a maximum depth of about six feet, and the north basin
has a maximum depth of nine feet. Transparency is fair throughout, running about eight feet.
Submerged aquatic vegetation is extremely abundant in all three basins, choking up the surface
area for much of the summer. The shorelines of the south and middle basins are undeveloped,
but the western shore of the north basin is heavily developed with summer cottages and
permanent homes.
Access for boat fishermen is poor, being limited to an informal dirt ramp located on the north
end of the north basin just off Route 8. The other two basins can be accessed with car top boats
or canoes launched from the causeways. (Given the weed situation, we recommend the canoe.)
Shore fishing access is good thanks to the causeways and a railroad bed running along the
eastern shore.
