Canandaigua Lake -
Map
With lakefront homes selling for upwards of a million dollars, Canandaigua Lake
is arguably the most popular of the Finger Lakes. The City of Canandaigua to the
north offers picturesque parks, plenty of shopping and dinning options and
Roseland Waterpark. To the south, the High-Tor Wildlife Management area and the
village of Naples offer a more peaceful setting.
Enjoy Onanda!
With a nominal
admission fee you can enjoy an activity-filled day on Beautiful Canandaigua
Lake!
Located on West Lake Rd. (County Rd. 16), Onanda is an exceptional and unique property about 8 miles south of the City of Canandaigua. It is 80 acres, seven of which are lakeside and includes 8 cabins, 2 pavilions, and 2 lodges available for rent. The 73 acres of hillside running along Barnes Road contain a two-mile hiking path, 3 pavilions, 3 cabins, winter sledding and over-flow parking.
"Onanda" is an Indian word meaning tall fir or pine, a
symbol of strength and simplicity. The park has a rich history including its
original purpose as the YWCA Leisure Time School, starting in the early 20th
century, and the site of Camp Good Days and Special Times. It was purchased in
1989 by a cooperative effort of New York State and the Town of Canandaigua to
improve recreational opportunities and public access to a Finger Lake. It was
opened in 1990 to the public. Fishing, swimming, family picnics and gatherings
have proven popular at this year round recreation area.
