Talk:Otsego Lake (New York)

Etymology
What is the origin of this place name? Badagnani (talk) 04:58, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Finger Lake?
Not sure if the comment about Otsego Lake being related to the Finger Lakes should stay in. Hydrologically, it is not part of the Finger Lakes at all, as it drains into the Susquehanna watershed (the Finger Lakes drain into the Lake Ontario watershed). Perhaps this should be made more clear that Otsego was carved by glaciers, like the Finger Lakes.

Merger proposal
I propose that Council Rock (Cooperstown, New York) and Sunken Island be merged into this article. Both are extremely short, unsourced stubs that have received only a handful of edits (mostly housekeeping) since being created almost 10 years ago. Both pages are only linked from this article (and some dismbig pages). This seems pretty uncontroversial, so unless there are any objections I will likely complete the merge after a week or so.
