Dear Jim,

This letter is to request you to look into establishing a town or county boat launch on Otisco Lake.

At the present time the only access the town residents have is by the causeway, and that is a car top only access. If we wish to launch a boat from a trailer we must pay to do so.

Possible areas to look into are:

1.) Otisco Lake causeway, owned by the O.C.W.A.

2.) Onondaga County park area on Otisco Valley Rd, owned by Onondaga County.

3.) State owned property south of Amber (don’t know exact location).

4.) O.C.W.A. or county owned property by the dam on the north end.

Respectfully and sincerely,

Merrill Clark

Chairman

Spafford Recreation Committee
