[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] together. The waters of these lakes are deep and pure and abound in fish, viz.: black bass, pickerel, white and yellow perch, bull-heads, eels, etc. The scenery around them is exceedingly picturesque and beautiful. On the north side Long Bond Mountains rise abruptly from the shores of Lake Waccabuc and North Pond, while around the southern shores green fields and shady groves slope to the water's edge. At the west end of Waccabuc is situated the " Waccabuc House," a popular summer resort for New York City people. In 1870 the Croton Water Department of the city of New York took possession of these lakes and placed a gate in the outlet of Lake Waccabuc, for the purpose of storing water to increase the supply for the city., They also improved and enlarged the -water-way between the lakes, so that boats can now easily pass from one lake to the other. The outlet of Lake Waccabuc is the Peppenegheck or Cross River, which flows south to near the centre of the town and then west, emptying into Croton River at Wood's Bridge, near Katonah. The Croton River flows along the western border of the town, while the Tatomuck and the west branch of Nor-walk River flow through the eastern portion. In every portion of the town ever-living springs of pure water abound. The general surface of Lewisboro' is broken and hilly, in the extreme northern part mountainous.
