Vernon
is a small village of about 1,200 residents located along Highway 5, east of Oneida Lake in Central New York. Picturesque Oneida Lake offers visitors lots of recreational opportunities, such as boating and fishing, swimming and other beach activities, picnicking and camping. The lake is approximately 22 miles long and is the largest inland lake located completely within the state of New York. The Sylvan Beach Amusement Park is located on the east shore of the lake and has rides, arcades, midway games, lots of good food and great family fun. A variety of restaurants and shops are in the area, and lodging is more affordable than a lot of other tourist resort areas in the state. Other activities near Vernon include horseback riding, golf, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. The town's central location is great for exploring the nearby Finger Lakes region, the Southern Adirondack Scenic Byway and attractions such as the Erie Canal Boat Cruises, the Enchanted Forest Water Safari and the city of Little Falls' Canal Place.

Vernon 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.
