Description

In Tioga County, the Cowanesque Dam was constructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1980. The dam created Cowanesque Lake, which helps prevent flooding within the valley. The 4.39 km2 lake also facilitates various forms of recreation; the Tompkins Recreation Area and Campground is located along the lakes north shore, and the south shore hosts two day-use areas.
