Little York Lake

Little York Lake is a popular spot in Preble, in Cortland County, for an afternoon of boating or fishing. It sits in Dwyer Memorial Park, under the watch of the historic Little York Pavilion, and its water stretches along 3.7 miles of shoreline. It’s a scenic outing for families, paddlers and anglers.

Lake houses and sculptures by local artists line the shore, which makes the lake an interesting paddle. It’s surprisingly deep, at about 75 feet, and it’s stocked every year with brown and rainbow trout. A large pier at the head of the lake, topped with a gazebo, is a good place to cast a line.
