Boat Floats Float On Otsego Lake

Cooperstown’s very own cowboys Kian Grady and Landon Collins ride on the front of their family’s pontoon boat, decorated to look like a frontier wagon. Their boat was one of several that was decorated for the fifth annual Independence Day Boat Parade, put on by the Otsego Lake Association. The boats paraded down the west side of the lake from Three Mile Point to the southern end of the lake, in front of Cooperstown’s Lakefront Park, where prizes were awarded to each boat.

This event is always great fun and always brings people together to celebrate the boat parade. The Otsego Lake Association does it every year as a way to get people together and also promote boating to the people watching the parade. Hopefully, the success of this year’s event will get more people interested in getting their own boat. If you’re wondering about buying your own pontoon boat like the one in the picture then take a look on pontoonboatsreview.com to find out all the amazing things you can do with your boat!

There’s lots of fun that can be had with a pontoon boat, no matter how old you are! It’s worth looking into if you’re curious.
