Argyle Lake, Babylon
Fishing Information
Argyle Lake, in the heart of the village of Babylon, is formed by a dam across the Carll's River. The lake is fringed by Babylon Village park land although the bustle of the village is evident beyond the narrow strip of lawn and trees.
Anglers anxious to begin fishing in the early spring can take advantage of the strong run of yellow perch that typically occurs on the north end of the lake. Trout from the DEC hatcheries are added to the resident fish community to provide additional fishing opportunity in the spring and fall. Argyle Lake also contains some largemouth bass in the 15-18 range.
