Seneca Lake: Watkins Glen Barges

No reviews yetUSA, New York

Seneca Lake has constant temp of 39.2 degrees from its springs - COLD! In lake summer, the top 15 feet or so can warm up into the upper 70's, but there's not much to see in the shallow areas due to zebra muscles. Certainly dry suit conditions for that! Max depth of the lake is 618 ft. A collection of barges on the southwest end of the lake, near the village of Watkins Glen, is being preserved and made accessible for scuba diving by the Finger Lakes Underwater Preserve Association.
