Skaneateles Lake
The shores of Skaneateles Lake are home to over 1,000 residents, businesses, farms, and vineyards. Skaneateles Lake has exceptionally high water quality. In fact, Skaneateles Lake is one of the few large-system surface water supplies in the country that has earned approval to treat and utilize the lake’s water for drinking without requiring a filtration plant.
