About This Access Site
Stella Lake is a 415-acre lake in Oneida County with a maximum depth of 22 feet, offering a public boat landing for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The lake supports a diverse fishery including musky, walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, and panfish. Note that water clarity is low, which may affect visibility for swimming or snorkeling.
