We used to brave the freezing waters to see who would be the first to go swimming. Many a beautiful NY lass has sunbathed on the rocks. I grew up around here.

We did putter up north a little bit more, though, to the Hinckley Reservoir. When I visited last year, we were at the brink of a water emergency. The NYS Canal Corp had (oopsie!) drained too much from the reservoir and water levels were dangerously low. Hinckley Reservoir provides the Mohawk Valley with its drinking water, as well as helps to generate hydroelectric power. It’s also a popular place for fishing and boating, and of course provides water for the Canal System, which is important to the State’s tourism industry. Mismanagement is causing numerous troubles. The governor has established a panel of advisors to study the issues at hand. If you’re interested in reading more about the hydroelectric capabiltities of the West Canada Creek, or want to see some photos of the breathtaking Trenton Falls, read this post of our trip here.
