¤ Named in 2005 as one of the Top 100 Campgrounds in the nation.
Glimmerglass State Park, located eight miles outside the village of
Cooperstown, overlooks Otsego Lake, the "Glimmerglass" of James Fenimore
Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales. The rolling, partially-wooded terrain is
host to a wide variety of wildlife. An uphill trail through the forest
affords a spectacular view of Otsego Lake; the Beaver Pond and Woodland
trails are picturesque and of interest for the variety of wildflowers,
shrubs, ferns and mosses. The Hyde Hall Mansion, Covered Bridge, and a
self-guided Beaver Pond Nature Trail are within park boundaries and open to
visitors. Winter visitors can go tubing, cross-country skiing, ice skating,
showshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, winter hiking and an Annual August
Triathlon.
