Has anyone gone in search of slabs there? DEC topo map says black crappie are one of the species in there.

I'm gonna have to check it out as well as checking out Duck Lake.

Is cross lake the one that is next to duck lake?

From Duck Lake, If you keep going East on Route 370, you'll go through Cato and then Meridian... Just before leaving Meridian (you can see the 55 MPH sign) there is a right hand turn - That's Jordan Road. About a mile or so down the road there is a sign for a marina on the left. That is where you put a boat in.

It's part of the Seneca River system.

We've got 3 "lakes" in the Cato-Meridian area. Cross lake is the biggest, then comes Otter Lake, then Parker's Pond. Ten minutes to the west is Duck Lake in Victory.

Happy slabin!
