Reconnect with Nature
Spring is the perfect time to reconnect with the natural beauty surrounding The Otesaga. Lace up your walking shoes and embark on a scenic stroll of the resort grounds, with its stunning views of Otsego Lake. To fully immerse yourself in nature, visit nearby Glimmerglass State Park and take your pick of several trails, including one that features the oldest existing covered bridge in the US. For true relaxation, though, nothing beats the view from the rocking chairs on our veranda!
