Thanks to its warm waters and beautiful surroundings, Lake Owasco has been a popular vacation spot since the 19th century.

The warm, shallow water is perfect for summer activities like swimming, boating, and water skiing, and the state park on the south end boasts plenty of hiking trails and 5 beautiful waterfalls.

Visitors to this park can also swim in the stream-fed swimming pool or camp in one of the 60 campsites.

Emerson Park is located at the north end of the lake; it offers a swimming spot, several picnic areas, grassy fields, and a boat launch.
