History

Otsego Lake was the long-time summer residence of Arthur Compton. Compton received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1927 for his work with x-Rays and what later became known as "The Compton Effect". During World War II, he was a key figure in the Manhattan Project that developed the first nuclear weapons. In the late 1950's, noted American architect and Frank Lloyd Wright protege, William Adair Bernoudy, designed Compton's retirement home on the lake directly across from Otsego Lake State Park.

There are an abundance of boats that frequent the lake during the busy times of year which bring along many skiers and boarders, as well as many tubing activities. Fisherman can also be seen scattered throughout the lake as well as the occasional seaplane. You may even spot an American Bald Eagle which has lived in the wooded area behind the eastern shore for many years.
