Artist Lake is a glacial kettlehole lake located directly south of Middle Country Road (Route 25) in Middle Island. The fishing is good, but anglers looking to escape civilization will not appreciate the nearby traffic and shopping center. Artist Lake holds a diverse warmwater fish community, including largemouth bass and pickerel. It is also one of Long Island's better waters for crappie and perch.
