Lovely Onota Lake covers over 600 acres within the city limits of Pittsfield. Along the eastern shore of the lake you will find Burbank Park which offers both locals and visitors a 150-acre recreational area where you can enjoy walking, picnicking and all kinds of boating. You can bring along your own boat to launch at the free public launching area or rent a canoe, kayak or motor boat at the Onota Lake Livery on Peck’s Rd. Burbank Park also has a popular swimming beach (Lifesavers on duty during July and August) and a walking path which meanders along the shores of the lake. Fishing is rumored to be very good and fishing derbies are held all year round, including ice-fishing in winter.
