Description

Glocester warmwater reservoir also known as Echo Lake. RI DEM public boat-launching sites list Pascoag Reservoir (Echo Lake) with a state-owned launch. Not modeled as a designated trout water; warmwater bass, perch, and panfish define the recommendation focus. Echo Lake is an alias of this single record—do not create a separate Echo Lake waterbody. Coordinates are a catalog reservoir-center reference point, not a verified boat-launch pin. No USGS lake/reservoir continuous station is assigned.
