Weaver Lake, sometimes called Weavers Lake, is a cool lake found in the town of Warren. This area is part of Herkimer County, New York.
Water flows into Weaver Lake from Maumee Swamp, which is located to the north. From Weaver Lake, the water then flows out into Young Lake. Because they are so close, Weaver Lake and Young Lake are often called "Waiontha Lakes" or "the Little Lakes." A nearby hill, Waiontha Mountain, was even named after these lakes!
