Oneida Lake is the largest inland lake completely within the State of New York, It's well known for its Walleyed Pike, Perch and Bass fisheries. As part of the Barge Canal System, boaters can navigate from here to Buffalo, Syracuse, Canada and the St. Lawrence Seaway.
There's something here for everyone! Take a walk across the bridge over the Barge Canal, and you'll find the resort town of Sylvan Beach. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, and special events here. The Sylvan Beach Amusement Park is one-of-a-kind amusement park with a great mixture of nostalgia (skee-ball anyone?) and new amusements. It's much more homey (and reasonably priced) than those huge impersonal theme parks!
We're also a short drive (or a longer walk) from Verona Beach State Park, where there's a public swimming area with lifeguards, picnic areas and camping. The nearby Finger Lakes region, with its wineries, museums and state parks is just a short drive away, as is the the Turning Stone Casino.
