Glimmerglass State Park

Glimmerglass State Park spans across partially wooded terrain on the eastern shore of Otsego Lake, featuring hiking trails and diverse wildlife throughout its grounds.

The protected area includes the historic Hyde Hall Mansion and a covered bridge, which have been preserved since the early nineteenth century as cultural landmarks.

The park derives its name from Otsego Lake, which author James Fenimore Cooper called Glimmerglass in his renowned Leatherstocking Tales literary series.

The park maintains 50 campsites available from mid-May to Columbus Day, with facilities including pavilions that accommodate groups from 65 to 200 people.

During winter months, visitors can participate in multiple snow activities including cross-country skiing, ice skating, and ice fishing on the frozen Otsego Lake.
