Lake Information

Lake Ontario - Oswego Area, located in Oswego County, New York, offers a vibrant and bustling waterfront scene along Lake Ontario. The area boasts a variety of amenities and activities that cater to both residents and visitors. With plenty of parking options available, visitors can easily access the waterfront and enjoy all that the area has to offer. One of the main parking areas in the Oswego Area is Breitbeck Park, which features two lots off Lake St. These lots provide convenient access to the park's amenities and offer a central location for visitors to begin their waterfront exploration. The park is a popular gathering spot and hosts various events throughout the year, including the renowned Oswego Harborfest. During major events like Harborfest, it's important to note that parking may be limited or alternative parking arrangements may be necessary. For those looking to park on the east side of Breitbeck Park, near the Civic Center/Music Hall, there are several roadside spaces available. These spaces not only provide parking convenience but also offer picturesque views of the marina and waterfront. Additionally, the marina lot off Lake St provides parking options, but it's important to avoid using any trailer spaces during boating season to ensure proper utilization. If you're planning to visit the pier near the maritime museum, there are limited parking options available. Around 8 spaces are situated near the canal dredge exhibit, while approximately 20 spaces are located at the museum itself. These parking areas offer proximity to the pier and the opportunity to explore the maritime history and exhibits in the area. During the bustling Oswego Harborfest, it's advisable to park along residential side streets a few blocks south of Breitbeck Park. Due to the high volume of visitors during this event, finding parking closer to the festivities can be challenging. However, by utilizing the residential side streets, visitors can still access the park and partake in the Harborfest celebrations. In conclusion, the Oswego Area in Oswego County, New York, offers an exciting waterfront experience with plenty of parking options for visitors. Whether you're interested in enjoying the amenities of Breitbeck Park, exploring the pier and maritime museum, or attending popular events like Harborfest, there are various parking areas to accommodate your needs.
