Lake Como (New York)

Lake Como is a small lake located in the town of Moravia, Cayuga County, New York, United States. The lake is approximately 134 acres in size and is situated within the Owasco Flats, a significant wetland area.

The lake's name originates from the famous Lake Como in Italy, likely bestowed due to perceived similarities in scenic beauty. However, the New York lake is significantly smaller and more representative of a typical Finger Lakes region wetland habitat.

Lake Como serves as a habitat for various species of fish, birds, and other wildlife. It is a popular destination for fishing and birdwatching. Access to the lake is available via public access points, including a state-owned boat launch.

The lake's watershed is primarily agricultural, leading to concerns about nutrient runoff and water quality. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the lake and its surrounding environment. The Lake Como Association, a local volunteer organization, works to promote responsible lake use and conservation practices.
