Lake Rescue is located in Windsor County of south central Vermont, in the northeastern United States.

The northern section of the lake, connected to the main body via a shallow channel, is referred to as Round Pond.

The lake is used year-round predominantly by the residents of the approximately 110 lakeside homes and camps who enjoy swimming, waterskiing, fishing, sailing in summer and ice-fishing, skating, and snowmobiling in winter.

Since 2014, the LRA Board increased the number of days that divers were employed to survey and hand pull milfoil plants.

In addition to thoroughly searching the entire lake for milfoil twice a week over the summer in 2016, the LRA board is reviewing other measures and is conducting a program of lake-user education/outreach, and public access education/inspection.

Although he was possessed of great strength he found it impossible to get out, encumbered as he was by his snowshoes, heavy coat and pack, without assistance which was furnished by his dog.

The other tradition and probably the one in mind when the lake was christened was of a child that strayed away from one of the Cavendish settlers' homes and became lost in the woods.

Searching parties later found the child on the eastern shores of the lake on a rock and unalarmed by her experience of several days and nights in the forests.
