Wickham Lake is a fascinating and ecologically-rich waterbody in Warwick, NY. So remarkably picturesque is Wickham Lake that it in 1700, it won the eye of Dr. Samuel Staats, who settled nearby after stumbling upon Wickham while setting off to claim 2000 acres in Ulster County. In ensuing centuries, Wickham has inspired artists, pilots, farmers and sportsmen. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of wild swampland, home to over 20 species of fish, over 20 amphibian, 8 turtle species and countless species of nesting birds, Wickham Lake presents an exceptional model of biodiversity rarely seen in 21st century New York.
