Allen Lake is a lake located southeast of the Village of Richfield Springs in northern Otsego County, New York. It is a natural lake, but a low earthen dam and concrete spillway were installed to raise the lake level.[2] The main outflow is Trout Brook, also known as White Creek, which flows into Otsego Lake.[3] Allen Lake is the water supply for Richfield Springs.
