Perch Pond is the smallest lake, just 25 acres. It is a spring fed lake, from the north end. There is a dam on the south end. There are 22 camps around the lake, with most being seasonal. Perch pond is quite deep for such a small lake, 35-40’ in some spots, the average around 15’. Vermont state does not allow gasoline engines on Perch Pond, so it’s a nice quiet spot. Perch Pond Road goes right along one edge of the pond, then circles around behind, where Lower Perch Pond Road leads to camps on the backside.

Sunrise Lake is a man-made lake of 57 acres. It receives water primarily from Sunset Lake through an overflow fixture located on the west shore of the lake. Additional water enters the lake on the north shore as overflow from Frog Pond. Sunrise Lake has a maximum depth of 43 feet with an average depth of about 25 feet. The littoral area, that area with a depth of 20 feet or less, comprises 22 acres. In November of 1991 the Vermont Water Resources Board adopted a rule limiting boat speeds on Sunrise Lake to a maximum speed of 5 MPH. There are 23 mostly seasonal properties around the lake. The Green Mountain Council has maintained a scout camp on the lake that is Vermont’s only Cub Scout Only camp. Camp Sunrise has served the scouting community since 1923.

Sunset lake is the largest of the three lakes. It dates back to the last ice age so it’s at least 17,000 years old! The lake has some of the clearest water in Vermont and is classified as an oligiotrophic lake. Approximately 1/3 of the shoreline adjoins State owned land which is forever wild. The lake has a healthy game fish population including small mouth bass, rainbow trout and lake trout. Other commonly seen wildlife include loons, bald eagles, osprey and great blue heron. Motorboats are allowed but their operations are limited by law. Personal watercraft are not allowed.
