Site of dam on Otsego Lake made by General James Clinton's troops on an expedition against the Iroquois in 1779. Two tall evergreen trees lean over the lake. A stone in the water underneath the trees bears a plaque. Upon breaking the dam at this site, Clinton's troops floated rapidly down the swollen Susquehanna River to meet General John Sullivan's troops at Tioga.
