About the association

Lake Huntington Lake Association

Our goal is to support the environmental health of Lake Huntington, NY.

Lake Huntington is a nutrient rich lake located in the Hamlet of Lake Huntington, within the Town of Cochecton in Sullivan County, NY. The association is led by a volunteer board, working with generous supporters and the entire community to restore and preserve the lake.

Restoring Our Lake. Strengthening Our Community. Protecting Our Future.
