In its near vicinity are the comfortable residences of wealthy farmers and the boarding-houses at and near Pehquennakonck Lake, a body of water lying partly in this town and partly in Putnam County, which covers about four hundred acres of land and is a re-sort for fishermen at all seasons of the year. Pick-erel, perch, etc., abound in its waters, and immense quantities of the first-named fish are taken, especially during the winter season, by local and visiting sports-men. Roman Catholic Chcrch. — Situated at Croton Falls, on the top of a rocky bluff* through a cut in which pass, a few rods away, the tracks of the New York and Harlem Railroad, is the Roman Catholic Church. It is a low, unpretending, wooden structure surmounted by a cross. The view from its site is a peculiarly fine one — including the Croton Valley to the south, the bluffy hills of North Salem on the east and the gently undulating lands of Somers on the west, while less than an eighth of a mile to the north is the hamlet and station of Croton Falls. Its loca-tion is well chosen, as many of its members use the cars as a means of reaching it, and its contiguity to the railroad depot renders this an easy matter.
