Miscellaneous Info
The lake was known to James Fenimore Cooper as Glimmerglass and was a principal feature in several of his novels, including The Pioneers, The Deerslayer, and Last of the Mohicans in which one may find mention of such local landmarks as Council Rock and Sunken Island.
Hyde Hall, a mansion that was probably the largest in the United States at the time of its construction in 1817, overlooks the lake.
