Sylvan-Beach is a small village that lies on the shores of Oneida Lake in central New York, northeast of Syracuse. It's also the site of the Sylvan Beach Amusement Park, which is located on the east side of the lake, and open mid-April through Labor Day. The amusement park has 21 rides, arcades, midway games, a full service sit-down restaurant and several other food outlets and lots of family fun. The park began in the late 1800s and slowly expanded over the years to the tourist attraction it is today. Several of the rides are older and not found in many of the amusement parks of today (and are in excellent condition and very well maintained.) Amusement park enthusiasts will appreciate the classic Pretzel dark ride named Laffland. This ride retains many of its' original stunts, including many that cannot be found at any other park. Sylvan Beach Park also includes beach and picnic areas. Oneida Lake is well known for its' fishing for Walleyed Pike, Perch and Bass, and offers several marinas, boating and camping. In addition you'll find lots of good lakeside restaurants in the area and affordable lodging. The State Barge Canal links the east end of Oneida Lake with the Mohawk River, and a casino, harness racing and the Utica Rome Speedway are all located just a short drive from Sylvan Beach.

Sylvan Beach Weather & Climate

Central New York has a four season, humid subtropical climate. Weather is heavily influenced by two continental air masses: a warm, humid one from the southwest and a cold, dry one from the northwest. Winters are typically long and cold. Much of the state, particularly western and central New York, are typically affected by lake effect snows that occur when cold air crosses the relatively warm lake waters and becomes saturated, creating clouds and precipitation downwind. This usually results in high yearly snowfall totals in this region. Summers are warm with occasional, brief periods of high humidity. Thunderstorms are possible in spring and summer. New York does not experience devastating storms such as tornadoes or hurricanes, as do other parts of the country.
