Tuscarora Lake

Madison County, New York

Tuscarora Lake, also known as the Erieville Reservoir, is located in Nelson, New York, just north of the small township of Erieville.

The Oneida Health Hospital is located north of the lake, a little over half an hour away, and the Community Memorial Hospital is southeast of the lake around 20 minutes away. Additionally, the Syracuse Hancock International Airport is within an hour of the lake.

Hungry Tuscarora Lake residents can fill their stomachs at the Blue Canoe Grill, a highly rated lake-side American restaurant that serves burgers, fried shrimp, steak, and pie.

Fishing and Boating

Anglers on Tuscarora Lake can expect to reel in largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, chain pickerel, black crappie, pumpkinseed sunfish, bluegill, rock bass, yellow perch, white sucker, and brown bullhead.
