Park Fees: Not listed Background: Ten thousand years ago Otsego Lake was formed when a tongue of glacier scoured out the Susquehanna River Valley and the Finger Lakes Region. Glacial scouring exposed limestone which has protected the lake by neutralizing the effects of acid rain. The limestone in the watershed and basin of Otsego Lake are dissolved by the waters flowing into it where it settles to the lake bottom as a white marl. excerpt from: http://www.oneonta.edu/academics/biofld/otsego%20lake%20info/aboutlake.html Link to Park: [Web Link] Date Established?: Not listed Additional Entrance Points: Not Listed
