During summer, the lake has a sandy bottom that gradually gets deeper (no drop off) so great for families wanting to swim, float around on the water all day, canoe & kayak, all within a close stroll. You can launch your canoe/kayak at no charge at the park, just a 3 minute walk away from the cottage. It's also close to the Erie Canal, if you love to cycle. Please keep in mind that the Sylvan Beach resort area is seasonal so some shops/restaurants may not be open during off season. During the fall there are many places to pick apples/pumpkins. Adults often enjoy North Star Orchards, a seasonal market with decorations, fruits, vegetables, cheeses & bakery, and Cackleberry Castle, which is more for kids with a a corn maze, animals, a seasonal store, etc. Oneida Lake and surrounding area is a hot spot for ice fishing and snowmobiling as well!
