About Skaneateles Lake
Skaneateles Lake is a long, narrow freshwater lake in New York that draws divers to underwater rock walls and the wreck of the Ossahinta. The site is a classic inland dive: the appeal comes from submerged structure, freshwater fish, and lake vegetation rather than coral. It suits divers who want a lake profile with a wall-and-wreck mix.
