The task is not yet complete, but the continued organization of Mohegan Lake residents can help to assure that the heritage which we have inherited will live on for future generations. Since 1975, the Mohegan Lake District has served as a community structure for the neighborhood. Jointly established by Yorktown and Cortlandt after the residents' big court victory, the District manages the lake, but its meetings often allow different homeowner associations from around the lake to share other information. There are currently several active homeowner associations or beach districts, most of which operate swimming beaches on the lake. The Town expects to take title to the property shortly, but the future of the last of the great Mohegan resort hotels, still in existence on the property, is in doubt.
Current plans are to bulldoze the structure.
Perhaps Lake Mohegan, born in the last great ice age 10,000 years ago, will continue to serve future generations of Mohegan Lake residents. Photos can be scanned and returned.

Even to-day photographs are being telegraphed over short distances.
