Cooper Lake is the water supply for the city of Kingston, NY. Much of the Hudson Valley draws off of the New York City reservoir system (which includes one one of the most famous engineering projects of the 20th century, the Ashokan Reservoir). Other towns use the PCB-contaminated Hudson River. Kingston is blessed to have its own lake located about 10 miles from the city. Photo by Eric Francis.
As part of the Cooper family with relatives in upstate NY in Cooperstown, this is a fun photo, but it is even more eerie as it looks and feels like the high, central Oregon cascades where some of the purest lakes in the world exist (meaning the water is ultra clear).
Lovely reminder of happy days on handmade log rafts with dog on toes fearing the freezing the water more than I in tow.
