The Boat Wash Station at Otisco Lake: Ensuring Cleanliness and Protection of Otisco Lake

The Boat Wash Station is located at the southwest end of Otisco Lake.
The primary purpose of the Boat Wash Station is to provide a designated area where boaters can thoroughly clean their watercraft before entering or after leaving Otisco Lake. This thorough cleaning process helps prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species that can have detrimental effects on the lake.

Boaters are encouraged to bring their vessels to the boat wash station to ensure that any potential unwanted guests, such as zebra mussels or Eurasian watermilfoil, are not inadvertently transferred into the lake. By thoroughly scrubbing and rinsing boats, trailers, and other equipment, the station helps to eradicate invasive species that might have attached themselves to these surfaces.

The boat wash station permits easy access for boaters with its convenient location and extended operating hours. Whether visitors come to Otisco Lake for a day of fishing, water sports, or leisurely cruises, they can benefit from the convenience and assurance offered by this facility.
