Andover Ponds Picture Page

The Ponds/Lake at Andover,NY have been a place dear to the hearts of many residents through the years.  Prior to the Cyclone that removed the Cottages on "the Lake" many years ago it was known for it's recreational resources.

Still today, with fishing derby's and picnic facility, it holds a certain mystic value that means much to the Andover Community.

The pictures shown here are from the years

 before the cyclone struck.
