Owasco Lake
Owasco Lake is the sixth largest and third easternmost of the Finger Lakes of New York in the United States. ==History== Owasco Lake's name may have been derived from the Iroquois word ''dwas-co'', meaning ''bridge on the water''. The name may also have been derived from the word ''was-co'', meaning ''floating bridge''. In the nineteenth century, Owasco Lake was a popular vacation spot for the well-to-do. A casino located just north of Cascade hosted guests traveling by rail along the western length of the lake. Vestiges of the railway remain in the swampy waters, but the casino burned down in the early years of the twentieth century. The "indianist" composer Arthur Farwell camped on the east shore in 1899, before assuming his teaching duties at Cornell University, and wrote a set of piano pieces depicting his experience, entitled "Owasco Memories." He included a representation of "The Casino Across the Lake."
