Working with SUNY Oneonta, the following Lake Management Report was developed by Stradder Caves. Additional assistance came from NYSFOLA and COFOKLA.  Several years of study went into this valuable document: The State of Lake Report

A  Storm-water Implementation Plan, was developed for our four kettle  lakes in 2017. This was funded through the National Fish and Wildlife,  Chesapeake Bay Capacity Grant, under the administration of Syracuse  University's Environmental Finance Center, in collaboration with  Cortland County Soil & Water District.  Plans were developed with  public participation by Princeton Hydro LLC. You can see our plan here: Song Lake Watershed Implementation Plan
