After a bit if a hiatus thanks to COVID, I found myself traveling up to Onondaga County to visit Syracuse and Green Lakes State Park. I had read much about Green Lakes and seen countless videos online, but seeing it in person is another level of splendor.
First, located in the Village of Fayetteville, NY in Onondaga County is the State Park. You arrive and if in season pay a parking fee. Life guards were on duty and the swimming/beach area was open. There was also a large playground for the kids and areas where you can BBQ.
The real sight though is the trail which covers the 2 lakes. Green lake and round lake. Both lakes are glacial lakes whose mineral properties give them a unique green color. They’re mimetic lakes, of which there are only 30 like them in the world. A real treasure to have, right here in New York State.
I hope 2021 is finding you well. Restrictions are easing and the public is returning to normal. Stay tuned as I attempt to cover more things NEW YORK!
