| : Onota Lake |
This 617-acre soft-water pond lies just beyond the city limits of Pittsfield. Due to its
location, it is very heavily used by anglers, swimmers, water skiers and sailors. Even so
the lake is in very good condition with a transparency of about 17 feet. Maximum depth is
66 feet; average depth is around 22 feet. Aquatic vegetation is abundant and very dense
in areas that are less than 10 feet deep. The northern coves are particularly weedy. About
25% of the shoreline is protected within the boundaries of a city park, another section is
owned by a hospital. Development is primarily limited to the northeast and southwest ends
of the lake.
There is a double concrete boat ramp and parking lot located on the southeast shore
about 1/3 of the way from the southern end. To get there, take Lakeway Drive to Burbank
Park from Valentine Drive. The ramp is suitable for virtually any class of trailer boat and
there is adequate parking for 75 vehicles. There is also a cement-fishing pier located in
one of the better fishing areas.
