Otego Creek Access Site
County Route 9 - Glens Bridge Road, open April 1 to November 1
The town assumed ownership of the former Hemstreet Park located on the Otego Creek in 2004 and constructed a canoe/kayak launch with assistance from the state Habitat Stamp program and local volunteers.
The small park nestled on the bank of the Otego Creek offers picnicking and fishing from the bank and a place to launch a boat on the creek, which flows into the Susquehanna.
