Cooper Lake

Cooper Lake is located between Lake Hill and Shady and is the largest natural lake in the Catskills. The lake has a large and perfectly still surface, which is like a mirror. The reflection of the sun dappled forestry and Catskill mountains from the surface of the water is a site to behold. Many people enjoy taking hikes on the hilly trails that surround the lake. Cooper Lake serves as one of the reservoirs that provides freshwater to Kingston.
