Lake Ashmere Paddle in Hinsdale

Ashmere Lake on a windy day! A 287 acre impoundment of Bennett Brook located on Route 143 on the Hinsdale and Peru town line, a manmade lake. The lake is divided into two basins by Route143 and access is between the two by a culvert that can be used by smaller boats. The average depth of Ashmere Lake is 8 feet with a maximum of 24 feet near the dam in the southern basin. The southern shore of the south basin lies within Ashmere Lake State Park and is entirely wooded; elsewhere the shores are developed with houses. Ashmere Lake is typically drawn down during fall and winter. A really nice boat launch is on Smith Road.
