According to the agency website: "Oneida Lake, located ten miles north of Syracuse in Oneida and Oswego Counties, is the largest lake lying wholly within New York State. Oneida Lake is a relatively shallow natural lake with an average depth of 22 feet and is named for the Iroquois Nation Oneida Tribe. The Oneidas called the lake "Tsioqui" or "white water", a reference to the wave action on the lake on windy days.
An accessible fishing platform is located in the community of Toad Harbor on the northern shore of Oneida Lake. The shaded platform overlooks a narrow deep cut canal that extends inland from the lake. There is a large parking lot. There is no port-a-john at this location.
Directions to Toad Harbor- off Shaw Road in the Town of West Monroe. Shoreline access and hand launching. Parking for 30 cars. From Route 49, follow Toad Harbor Road south to lake."
