    Nice small lake, quiet and inviting. Very cool in fall. Boat launch is clean and has a bathroom too. You will need a recreational pass to use it.

    Be on notice that public access site is CL0SED-no launching or exits. DNR says it will assist in removal of residents boats in fall. Call DNR at Otsego Lake State Park for more info. Closure due to high water levels.
