Belmont Lake, North Babylon
Fishing Information
Belmont Lake is located within Belmont Lake State Park in Babylon. It is shallow and relatively uniform in depth. The lake supports a year-round warmwater fish community including largemouth bass. Belmont Lake is also well known for its large carp.
While Belmont Lake cannot sustain trout through the heat of summer, trout are stocked in the fall and spring to provide a seasonal fishing opportunity. Each April, the DEC and Belmont Lake State Park host a Family Fishing Festival at the lake. For more information about the Fishing Festival and current schedule see: Region 1 Calendar of Events.
