DeRuyter Reservoir
About
DeRuyter Reservoir is a hill-country lake in southwestern Madison County that anglers visit throughout the year. Walleye, pickerel, bass and panfish are the main targets, and the quiet setting suits people who like to fish at a slower pace, whether from a boat or from the shore.
A boat launch is available at the lake’s general store, and state DEC regulations guide access and fishing practices. The lake sits among rolling hills near the village of De Ruyter, a quiet corner of the county for a day outdoors.
