Oswego

Oswego is a city that rests on the shores of the iconic Lake Ontario, and is a place almost entirely defined by its status as a famous port city. Yet, there is much more to it than that, as away from the shores, there are a number of natural attractions that keep people coming back year after year. Hike along the water’s edge, and fish in its depths, or make the short journey to Selkirk Shores State Park for amazing coastal walks with a view. Along the Oswego River, a number of water-based activities can be enjoyed, and the Three Rivers Wildlife Management Area provides ample opportunities for wildlife spotting as you hike. You could even venture out to the Finger Lakes for lakeside views and vineyard scenery.
