Its a pretty small lake (70 acres?), and in my opinion not a good place for both boats and seaplanes.
Bear Islander - I looked a lot more like that. It might have been that. I had a dinner guest and didn't give it my full attention until it took off and flew overhead, so my best recollection is looking up at the floats below its wings. It may have been the one you posted, or it could have been a different one. Next time (if it happens again) I will pay attention, and if possible photograph it to back up my my complaint.

Apparently Pickerel Pond WAS an authorized Seaplane landing place called
"Bosseys", listed as a
Private landing place for seaplanes. It was depicted on my November 27, 2003 issue of the
New York Sectional which is a Avaition Map used by pilots flying VFR in the area. This would indicate that someone on the pond once had a seaplane.
