The Canadice Lake [ kænədaɪs ] is one of the smallest Finger Lakes in the US state of New York . It extends in the territory of Ontario County about 30 mi (48 km) south of Rochester from north to south. It serves the city of Rochester together with its western neighbor, Hemlock Lake , as a drinking water reservoir.
