Zebra Mussels Have Arrived in Otsego Lake

After a delaying action of about four years by the Village boat inspection program, a few zebra mussels have been found at two locations in Lake Otsego. Mussels were identified by experts Tom Horvath and Bill Harman of the SUNY Oneonta Biological Field Station. Lake Otsego was until now the last large body of water in upstate New York which was mussel-free.

Large numbers of zebra mussels can make beaches treacherous for walking, and can clog water intakes of homes and boats. There is no immediate cause for alarm, however. The mussels were small and no clusters were found, so it is unlikely that they will appear in large numbers before about two years. Boat inspections will continue and observations by Field Station personnel will be stepped up.

Lakeside residents and power boat owners are advised to keep alert for growths of the mussels and report them to the biological Field Station at 547-8778. Further information may be obtained by calling the Village Office at 547-2411.

Parking


Parking is extremely scarce on Main Street and surrounding streets. In addition, parking is limited to two hours on Main Street and most other streets in the Village. The parking limit is STRICTLY ENFORCED and requires vehicles not only to be moved within the two hour limit but also to be moved to a different street.

For all day parking, please click on the Trolley Tab to the right for information leading you to the Village Trolley lots.

During the sumer months, a limited amout of all-day and hourly parking is available for a fee in Doubleday Field Parking Lot. This centrally-located parking lot is accessible from Chestnut Street (south of the Cooperstown Chamber of Commerce) or from Main Street (next to the Key Bank Building).
