Your guide to Sylvan Beach

All About Sylvan Beach

The resort community of Sylvan Beach is built along the eastern shore of Oneida Lake where the lake meets the Erie Canal. Although it is known for its outdoor and beach activities, Sylvan Beach is also a lively spot for entertainment. Stroll along the shore to check out the restored Verona Beach Lighthouse, browse the souvenir shops along the water, or take in a free concert at the Sylvan Beach Bandstand. During the warmer months, you can spend the day catching some rays on the sandy beach or swimming or boating on the water. The lake is a popular fishing spot to try your hand at catching walleye, bass, and sturgeon. Play a round of golf at one of the nearby courses, and end the evening at one of the waterfront restaurants, many of which offer live music.

Just five minutes from town is Verona Beach State Park, home to lakefront paths, cattail marshes, and hardwood swamps. As you explore the 1,700-acre park, you might spot deer, beavers, or foxes. In the winter, the trails are open to snowshoers and cross-country skiers, and you can go ice fishing on the lake.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Sylvan Beach

This corner of Upstate New York has a cold and temperate climate, with a fair amount of rainfall throughout the year. Book your Sylvan Beach rentals in the summer months for the warmest days and festivities such as Pirate’s Weekend in July, when you can dress in pirate gear, enjoy a beach treasure hunt, and watch the boat parade. Fireworks and free concerts are regular events throughout the summer.

The weather starts to cool down in September, but that doesn’t mean the town goes quiet. The local amusement park hosts Halloweekends throughout October. The winter months see extremely cold temperatures and plenty of snow. It may be too chilly for a walk on the beach, but the lake and its surrounding area offer many opportunities for ice skating, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.


Top things to do in Sylvan Beach

Verona Beach Lighthouse

Verona Beach Lighthouse has stood on nearby Verona Beach since 1917, when it first began to light the way for vessels navigating the economically important Erie Canal. Over the past few decades, the Verona Beach Lighthouse Association has cleaned up this landmark and landscaped the surrounding area. Take a stroll along the beach to appreciate this piece of the area’s past.

Museum of Science and Technology

Located in downtown Syracuse, a 40-minute drive southwest from Sylvan Beach, the Museum of Science and Technology is a science-focused museum that features interactive exhibits for all ages. There is plenty to see here, from a life-size dinosaur exhibit to planetarium shows and a space dedicated to building with blocks and bricks.

Fort Stanwix National Monument

Fort Stanwix, 25 minutes from Sylvan Beach in Rome, played an important role in the American Revolution, when American troops successfully defended the site against the British. Today, you can explore the reconstructed diamond-shaped fortress and learn about this feat through guided tours and interactive exhibitions. The museum on site holds 500,000 artifacts, including ethnographic objects from the Oneida Indian Nation, historical items from the city of Rome, and military arms and furnishings from the late 18th century.
