South Lake is located by Atwell, New York and is the source of the South Branch Black River. South Lake is one of several lakes in Herkimer County that has a high acid content, and is therefore not a big fish producer. The fish species present are brook trout, and land locked salmon. A canoe or row boat is needed to access the lake, because motors are not allowed. The lake is a designated trout lake so no ice fishing is allowed.
