#### Outdoor fun and one of the country’s largest shopping centres combine to make Onondaga Lake a popular family holiday destination.

Onondaga Lake is one of Central New York’s beloved natural features, once the site of the great peace that founded the Iroquois Confederacy. Formerly surrounded by brine springs, it was the center of the salt production industry that sustained the surrounding towns. Years of local activism have led to its restoration as a site for catch-and-release fishing, boating and shoreline relaxation. Visit today’s lovely parks and shoreline activities.

Explore Onondaga Lake Park along the eastern shore. Let your four-legged friend run wild and free at the dog park at the northern end of the park. Visit the Salt Museum and the Skä•noñh - Great Law of Peace Center to learn about the history of the lake and surrounding area. Rent a quadricycle and pedal up and down the 2.6-mile (4.2-kilometer) bike path.

Walk over the bridge to nearby Long Branch Park. Once the site of an amusement park, it now hosts numerous festivals, from the Great American Antiquefest to the Scottish Games. Don’t forget your sled, saucer or toboggan in winter because Long Branch Park has a great sledding hill.

Shop, eat and have fun at Destiny USA, a mega-mall located at the southern end of the park. Pick up things from your favorite stores, enjoy a delicious lunch and take a ride on the center’s antique carousel. Have a race with friends at the indoor go-kart track or slow things down with a leisurely walk along the waterfront at sunset.

Late summer brings the Great New York State Fair to the western shore of the lake, where the whole state comes for rides, entertainment and farm animal showings.

Fly to Syracuse Hancock International Airport and drive 20 minutes to Onondaga Lake. Rent a car at the airport for the best access to the lake and the surrounding area.

Onondaga Lake and the Finger Lakes region are the perfect introduction to the charm of Central New York, so idyllic that you may never want to leave.

8.6/10 Excellent! (201 reviews)

We had a great stay at this beautiful location. It surpassed our expectations - It was clean, a 2 minute walk to a great diner and the subway that had us in Manhattan in less than 15 minutes. It was also very close to a lot of stores and the view was top notch. There is also a rooftop bar an elevator ride away. The problem was that if you went up there and it was closed you could only get to the bottom floor next door and you could be locked in. FDNY was there one night getting someone out of an elevator shaft and they were about to break the door to open it because they were locked in. Check-in was not good. The code they gave me didn’t work and there were other guests who had the same issue. I had to call for a new code which took quite a bit of time, and then they put me in a one bedroom when I had reserved a two bedroom. The code that ended up working stopped working the next day and if it hadn’t have been for my kids still being in the room I would’ve been locked out of the building and room entirely. Fortunately when I got to the right room I requested the number for the property manager and he was able to assist with the new code, which switched again later that evening. If they can get the code issue figured out and get the right people into the right rooms this would be the perfect stay. We plan to stay there again when we come to NyC next and I hope they have all the code issues figured out by then.
