The hamlet of Mahopac encircles a picturesque 587-acre lake, from which it draws its name. Lake Mahopac contains three islands, Fairy, Petre, and Canopus, all privately owned. Fairy Island sports multiple homes accessible via a short causeway; Petre boasts a single Frank Lloyd Wright designed residence, the A. K. Chahroudi Cottage; and Canopus has undeveloped land available for purchase. Boating, fishing and other water sports are permitted on the lake. Slips and support services are provided by two marinas.
Besides Lake Mahopac, other lakes include Lake Secor, Lake MacGregor, Kirk Lake, Lake Casse, Long Pond, Wixon Pond, and Bryant Pond.
Mahopac has a state of the art 33,000-square-foot library, featuring multiple reading rooms overlooking Lake Mahopac, abundant computers, a law library and conference rooms.
The Carmel Historical Society Museum in the Old Town Hall on McAlpin Avenue features many fascinating area artifacts.
