Rural Lake Surrounded by Recreational Opportunities

Have a feeling of solitude at the 60-acre Dog Pond significantly surrounded by forests and wetlands. Its waters reach depths of 11 feet and are five feet deep on average. The waters are excellent for a leisurely boat ride, relaxing swim, or for a full day of bass angling.

Camp Cochipianee is a fun-filled day camp for kids in Pre-K to 6th grade that borders the lake for a wide range of outdoor experiences.

Due to its rural location, the pond is surrounded by natural attractions such as Mohawk Mountain State Park, Topsmead State Forest, Wyantenock Forest, and more. This makes the lake a prime location for a slew of outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, or rock climbing in warmer months, skiing, or snowshoeing in the winter.
