"For members of the Goodyear Lake Association, the lake provided a seasonal place for fishing, swimming, and getting out of the city of Oneonta, especially during the summer months. Ken Yager served as president and C. W. Southworth as secretary from 1934 - 36. In 1934 the Association voted to stock the lake with bass, pike, pickerel, and perch. Walter Getter and N. Platt were responsible for putting the fish in the lake."
The Goodyear Lake Association has issues such as silting and water chestnuts and proper maintenance of the shore. It also hosts events and sponsors improvement projects.
The energy aspect is now run by a green energy company, ENEL-NA.
