Yellow Lake
Currently, no lake associate exists. If you want to start a lake association, please get in touch with Indian River Lakes Conservancy.
Yellow Lake, like several other Indian River Lakes, is bordered by state forest land. Approximately 68% of the lake’s watershed is forested.
Although Yellow Lake is located within the Indian River Lakes region, it actually flows into the Oswegatchie River.
A public hand launch site is located off Hall Road in Macomb.

Wildlife & Water Quality
Yellow Lake is categorized as a shallow productive, or eutrophic, lake. Eutrophic lakes have high nutrient content that promotes vegetation growth.
Eurasian Watermilfoil is known to be present so boaters should take care to clean their vessels and equipment carefully to avoid transferring this invasive species to other water bodies.
