About Scott's Page

Oquaga Lake


Since 1869 six generations of Scotts have operated a family resort up on the mountain out of Deposit, NY on picturesque Oquaga Lake. The present facility encompasses nearly 1100 acres which include 2 scenic 9 hole golf courses, tennis courts (outdoors and indoors), softball diamond, bocce and shuffleboard courts, a separate pitch & putt golf course, putting green, Swedish exercise course, and many beautiful NY State wooded areas with numerous walking trails . . . some designed for Volksmarch!

The main building includes a comfortable, homey lobby, a dining room seating up to 300, and a number of guest rooms. Other guest rooms are in adjoining annex buildings, and various sized lakefront cottages. One focal point for fun, is a large playhouse on the lakefront which includes an old fashioned soda fountain, pool tables, ping pong, and some old fashioned bowling alleys. . . plus other amusement games. On the lakefront is a large show room with a 3200 sq. ft. hardwood dance floor (a dream come true for dancers of all kinds . . . ballroom, country, square and folk), all of this is part of the everyday program at Scotts. There's also a stage for live shows and entertainment 7 nights a week.

The waterfront at the playhouse is always alive with swimming, canoeing, boating, kids program for the children, speedboat rides, water-skiing or a ride on the showboat . . . a fixture on Oquaga Lake for many years with its sing-along cruises.

Presently, Mom & Pop Scott (Ray and Doris), plus two daughters, their husbands and children all work in different capacities at the resort. Although there are professional entertainers of cruise ship variety, every night, twice a week, 9 members of the Scott Family present a Broadway Type Musical Revue . . . some say their family show sets the mood and character of this rather unique resort with its old fashioned country charm. A long list of daytime activities, mini-bus tours, fashion and talent shows, dance lessons, etc., plus 3 meals each day, the accommodations and all the sports facilities, (only power golf cars are extra), shows and entertainment are included in the one rate . . . and there is no tipping!

In 1996, The Scotts received the "Why I Love NY" Award, chosen as one of the 12 best values in family getaways in NY State. More information and color brochures available by calling 607 467-3094 or you can E-mail us.
