About Lake Carmel
Lake Carmel is a hamlet and census-designated place in the town of Kent in Putnam County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 census, Lake Carmel had a population of 8,069. The hamlet is centered around Lake Carmel, a 1.6 mile long manmade lake in the southeastern corner of the township and just north of hamlet of Carmel within the town of Carmel.
The lake and surrounding community was developed by the Smadbeck brothers, who excavated and dammed a swamp in the 1920s and sold lots through the now-defunct New York Daily Mirror. The hamlet is the seat of the volunteer Lake Carmel Fire Department; its fire district covers the eastern half of the township, and of the Kent town government.
