About Owasco Yacht Club
Owasco Yacht Club originated in 1892 as a way to promote sailing and racing on Owasco Lake. Many of Auburn's most prestigious families were among the founding members including W. H. Seward, H. E. Case, P. W. Pomeroy and the first Owasco Yacht Club Commodore, Colonel F. T. Peet.
Today the Club continues it's mission, providing a social and recreational association for its members to enjoy Owasco Lake with an emphasis on boating, sailing, and waterfront activities.
The Club is located on beautiful Owasco Lake, State Route 38A, just outside of Auburn, New York. The Club owns approximately 9 acres of land which includes 630 feet of lakefront.
Owasco Yacht Club is a private club with access restricted to members only and their invited guests. Club amenities include a swimming area, picnic area, clubhouse, and a variety of Club-owned watercraft.
Shady picnic areas on both the north and south ends of the property are equipped with picnic tables and fireplaces. Younger children have a playground consisting of tetherball, a slide, swings, a sand box and a play set with climbing ropes, a climbing wall and slide.
