The Cortland Conservation Club was founded as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization in 1944 upon the southeast shore of the newly constructed Mosquito Creek Lake. Since this time, our member’s have enjoyed family friendly club activities, exceptional facilities and unsurpassed lake access.
Our Activities – Our club is available year round and we host many club activities. Some activities include: club picnics (fish fry, sausage fry and corn roast), holiday gatherings (Christmas and Easter events) and sailboat racing (Monday night jib and main fleet).
Our Land – Our secured and safe (gated) lakeshore property is comprised of approximately 5 acres. The majority of our property is club owned, though our access to the lake is granted by the Army Corp of Engineers, through a long-term lease.
Club Structures – We own and maintain several buildings; which is comprised of our main clubhouse, a closed picnic shelter and an open air picnic shelter. Our member’s are able to reserve any of our clubs facilities for private parties and events on a first-come-first-served basis at no charge.
Main Clubhouse – Featuring a large entertainment space with a commercial kitchen with indoor and outdoor restroom facilities with showers.
Closed Picnic Shelter – A large closed building with picnic tables and modest kitchen. The shelter includes an outdoor grilling area and an indoor fireplace. Doors can be opened for outdoor activities and great views of Mosquito Lake.
Open Air Picnic Shelter – A large open shelter with picnic tables and outdoor charcoal grilling area.
Recreation – Our club provides many recreational areas, including tennis, bocce and basketball courts and a swimming area. We also have a very nice playground for our young members.
Boating – Recreational boating is a large part of our club. Our facility features both docks and moorings in a well protected cove. Many of our member’s dry sail their boats from our facility. A year-round boat storage area is available. Transient docks are also available to our members for overnight stays.
Camping – Our club maintains several camping locations (free of charge and granted on a first-come-first-served basis). All of our sites feature both electric and water.
