Lake Oneida, NY

Post by FLembo18 »

I was wondering if anyone in this forum has sailed Lake Oneida, NY, and knows about great boat launches, safe vehicle/trailer parking areas and PERMITS required for out-of state residents ? If yes, please post your replies. Thank You !

Haven't sailed it but about 2 hours from me

I can tell you lake sailing in upstate NY is fun, but the lakes can be choppy and weather comes up fast

Have you thought about cayuga or Seneca lake?? Much larger and several good ramps and parking spots

Finger Lakes are also a great choice.
Be careful with wineries around there... :wink:

YES, Quintamala, lots of great wineries there, my concern would be wino jet skiers, they're a PITA even without being buzzed. :x

Thanks for the Callahan Marina link, I'll be calling them come early Spring. I went on Google Earth and checked out some of the Lake Onieda area, love those 360 street shots where you can Zoom In .

To: Catigale, thanks for your input also, always good to hear from reliable & trustworthy old salt ( seaworthy fellow). 8)

Welcome flambé

A cool trip would be launch in Ithaca ,head up lake on a reach, drop mast and then Erie canal over to Oneida. One week or less. Email me if you want some logistics help.

I have a cottage in between the lakes if you want a free place to drop truck trailer, about 10 miles up Route 96 from Ithaca

Thanks for the offer, Catigale.

I was also looking at Lake Cayuga, they have the Allan H. Treman State Marine Park (BOATS ONLY) just next to Ithaca, NY. I know that they require permits for out-of-state boaters, that can easily be obtained .

Ny state parks has a good website that describes fees

Another launch up north is dean cove? I have launched my x there...the boat, not a down-rev Admiral

Cayuga is shallow up north, unlike Seneca lake next door

Geneva state park is another launch point

Hi Darren.
I think it would be faster if you were to just jump into your car or bus & treat you to some of this
