Newburgh Lake
Returned to a Resource for All to Enjoy!

Newburgh Lake has been returned to the recreational resource it once was. During much of 1996 - 1998, Newburgh Lake underwent a major restoration process. Contaminated sediment and fish were removed from the lake, the lake was restocked with game fish, the lake depth was increased and habitat was created for the lake's fish and wildlife. Now all citizens can safely enjoy a variety of recreational uses in and around Newburgh Lake, including fishing.
