Our sources for Lake Waccabuc (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Lake Waccabuc other than they indicate that Lake Waccabuc would be found somewhere in Westchester County, New York.
