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. Access is via Town of Brookhaven park located directly off of Middle Country Road. Directions: Take Route 25 to Middle Island; lake is on the south side of the road opposite K-Mart. Restrictions: Hand launched boats are allowed; shoreline access is available but limited.
The ranking score is used to determine how "popular" a trip or location is. It is calculated based off of a weighted average of the number of reviews and the user ratings. For example, a location with 2 reviews and an average rating of 5 will have a lower "ranking score" than one with 10 reviews and an average rating of 4. This is because even though the first location has a better average rating, it has not been reviewed as much as the second location, so it is not as "popular". In the future we may modify the ranking score to take in additional factors, such as the number of views, comments, and photos.
