Info
Lake Carmel is located in the Town of Kent, New York, United States. It takes its name from nearby Carmel, and in turn the community surrounding the lake, which accounts for much of Kent's population, is named for it.It was created by developers in the early 20th century by damming the Middle Branch of the Croton River. It is one of the few large bodies of water in Putnam County not used as a reservoir by New York City, but it is still part of the city's water supply since the Middle Branch is impounded into the eponymous reservoir downstream. Due to increasing development around the lake, the city has helped the community improve its wastewater treatment.
