South Lake is a lake 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, rowboat or motorboat is needed to access the lake. The lake is a designated trout lake so no ice fishing is allowed.
