Wildwood Lake is a natural lake located in Suffolk County on Long Island in Northampton near Riverhead, New York, USA. The lake was formed by glaciers during the last Ice age. There is a variety of fish species present in the lake, including:
- Largemouth Bass

- Pumpkinseed
- Yellow Perch
- White Perch
- Brown bullhead
- Rock Bass
Fishing in Wildwood Lake is limited to Southampton residents only. It is said that there was once a road crossing through the middle of the lake, but it has never been proven.
Famous quotes containing the word lake:
“Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world. I almost doubted if the lake would be there,—the self-same lake,—preserve its form and identity, when the shores should be cleared and settled; as if these lakes and streams which explorers report never awaited the advent of the citizen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
