Description
An amazing winter dawn sky greeted me on this cold January morning (9 degrees). The thermal pools that feed this lake do not freeze over regardless the temperature, therefore making these unique circles that dotted the otherwise frozen water!
Glenmere Lake is a colonial mill pond or reservoir located in Orange County, New York, USA. It is New York State's largest and virtually last habitat of the Northern Cricket Frog (Acris crepitans), listed as endangered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The lake is threatened by both private and municipal development.
The lake is part of the greater Orange County-owned Glenmere Preserve, one of the largest wild areas in Orange County. Glenmere Lake is the most biologically diverse natural feature of Orange County, with hardwood swamp, shale ridgelines, wide marsh, mossy bogs, vernal pools and an open-water reservoir.
The Glenmere Reservoir lands are home to bald eagles, six species of hawk and six of owl. Endangered plant and animal species inhabit the Glenmere lands in fact, New York State�s largest and virtually last population of endangered northern cricket frogs inhabits the entire parcel.
Glenmere straddles Orange County�s two largest Hudson River watershed basins: The Wallkill, on its western side, and the Moodna, on its east (Represented by its westernmost tributary, the Black Meadow Creek).
The Glenmere Reservoir Lands include a "watershed ambiguous zone" where small brooks split off into either watershed. The lake and associated county lands comprise sections of the towns and villages of Warwick, Chester, Sugar Loaf and Florida.
