Hey Group!!

My Children and I are going to visits some relatives in Oswego NY. *I don't
want to go out on Lake Ontario (since I am a rookie boater) *Anyone know of
any other near Oswego lakes to go out on for the day?

Thanks!!!

Go south on the Oswego River towards Minetto and Fulton. *It is a very
scenic 12 mile ride through the NYS Barge Canal system. *I believe the
lock permits are either free now or very reasonably priced. *Don't be
intimidated by the locks - they are very easy to negotiate. *Follow
another boat and watch their technique.

The other alternative is to trailer the boat further south to the
Finger Lakes region. * Skaneateles Lake is the closest to Oswego and
very popular but Cayuga, Keuka and Senneca are all worth a visit.
