Kingfisher Tower
A small Gothic stone tower built on a lakeside headland in 1876. It is the most photogenic landmark on Otsego Lake and is mostly seen from tour boats.
This Gothic Revival stone tower, about 18 meters tall, was built by Edward Clark, heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune. Modeled on European lakeside castles, it stands on a small point on the eastern shore of the lake, where Judith Point extends into the water. The tower is privately owned and not open to the public. The best way to see it is by tour boat or kayak, and parts of East Lake Road also offer views of it.
