Glimmerglass - gorgeous, clean, clear, placid, deep water

9 miles long, and unspoiled, this is a wonderful place to spend the day in the summer. When it's hot, the lake is a refreshing place to take a swim. A beautiful place to waterski, especially in the late afternoon or early morning when it...More

Beautiful Lake - very scenic

What a picturesque lake and only 2 blocks from the main drag in Cooperstown. We took a picnic lunch and enjoyed the view and watching the boats and fishermen.

Beautiful. Sam Smith's Boat Rental

Rented a boat from Sam's. Toured the entire lake on an autumn day and it was beautiful. Did the two hour rental and it was enough time to cover the lake.
