Located in the Town of Sanford in Broome
County, New York on the very northwestern edge of the Catskill
Mountains, Oquaga Lake (see
aerial view) is bordered entirely by private property, whose
owners share a common love for the Lake, and therefore come together
in the form of an Association. Annual dues support the property
owners' shared responsibility for the care, maintenance, and enjoyment
of the Lake.
Our motto is 'speaking in
one voice,' meaning an Association of Friends and Neighbors who
acknowledge our shared appreciation and concern for the Lake that is
known as Oquaga.
The Purpose of the Association
To preserve, improve
and protect Oquaga Lake and the lands adjoining the same and bordering
thereon, all located in the Town of Sanford, Broome County, New York; to develop
and promote the said territory as a summer resort; to prevent the
contamination of the waters thereof; to further and advance the social
and general welfare of the said territory and the owners and occupants
thereof and the members of this Association; to do any and all acts
necessary to carry into effect the foregoing objectives, including
acquiring and holding title and property rights in and to the said
Oquaga Lake, adjoining lands and springs and water courses in the
vicinity.

And Remember ...
Oquaga Lake, with the support of its
Association, was the first lake in the State of New York to prohibit
the use of jet skis and other specialty watercraft. Remember,
never any jet skis on Oquaga Lake! See also our
Boating Rules.
