Blydenburgh Lake
Also known as Stump, New Mill or Weld's Pond, is located within Blydenburgh County Park in Smithtown. Fed by the headwaters of the Nissequogue River, it is one of the least developed and most picturesque ponds on Long Island.
Blydenburgh Lake contains a variety of fish species, but is best known for its largemouth bass. Bass fishing has been consistently good over the years with volunteer angler diary cooperators reporting catch rates between 0.4 and 1 bass per hour. Fishing for perch and sunfish is also excellent.
The shoreline of Blydenburgh Lake is a well balanced mix of undisturbed fish habitat and access points for shore based anglers. Wading along the shoreline is possible, but there are many hidden submerged stumps and logs that can make wading difficult. Boat may be rented from Suffolk County Parks during summer months.
There are two entrances to the park. The main entrance is off of 454
(Veterans Highway) across from the Denison Building in Hauppague and
the other is off of New Mill Road just south of Jericho Turnpike (Route
25)
in Smithtown.
