Sunken Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sunken Island is a submerged sandy plot located near the western shore of Otsego Lake, approximately seven miles from Cooperstown, New York, in Otsego County. It is the supposed remains of an island described in the writings of James Fenimore Cooper upon which a structure once stood. Today Sunken Island is several feet below the surface of the lake and is cordoned off to prevent boats from running aground.
