I love nothing more when I'm in Cooperstown than to sit along the lake. This afternoon I enjoyed a glass of bubbly from the terrace of the Otesaga. So classy. More

This is a GORGEOUS lake. Cooperstown is beautiful and this lake shows that off. If you get a chance go out on a boat in the lake. Make sure to see the King Fisher Tower (statue that juts out into the lake) and The Otesaga Hotel. More
