Welcome to the Town of Henderson, New York. This is the official municipal website for the Town and all Town related business. Henderson is located in Upstate New York. Founded in 1806, Henderson lies in the heart of the Golden Crescent on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. Known far and wide for its smallmouth bass and perch fishing opportunities, Henderson is also a great place for largemouth bass, northern pike, trout and salmon fishing.
Comment on the impact of the high lake levels to the IJC:
It is critically important that the memories of these high water impacts are documented and summarized so that as time goes, these will not be forgotten. To support such a summary, the IJC’s Great Lakes – St. Lawrence River Adaptive Management (GLAM) Committee, a subcommittee supporting the ILOSLRB, is seeking first-hand observations and experiences from all who would volunteer to tell their story related to high water impacts in 2019.
A questionnaire has been developed that allows impacted shoreline property owners to report directly on their experiences in 2019. The questionnaire includes opportunities to describe the types and extent of their high water impacts, as well as upload photos to illustrate those impacts. Responses will be summarized by the GLAM Committee as part of its reporting to the ILOSLRB and the IJC and will also be used to improve models that are used to assess potential impacts under a range of water level conditions. Further information, including a link to the questionnaire itself, is available on the GLAM Committee website (see link below). Property owners are encouraged to complete the questionnaire as soon as the extent of their high water impacts are available.

Action Needed Regarding The High Water in Lake Ontario
New US IJC Commissioner Jane Corwin intends on raising a vote to suspend Plan 2014, but it requires the support of the Canadian IJC commissioners. Canadian Chair Pierre Beland has publicly announced his support of Plan 2014, and does not believe that there is opposition to the higher-highs of Lake Ontario in Canada.
The Canadian IJC Commissioners need to hear from you IMMEDIATELY. Please consider emailing the three Canadian IJC commissioners to let them know you support an immediate suspension of Plan 2014. The vote may happen soon, so please DO NOT DELAY.
