Long before sportfishing became
Steelhead
popular, weirs were built across the
Oswego River at the base of the
falls in Fulton. The weirs trapped
eel, which were then smoked and
shipped downstate for sale. At the
peak of this industry in the late
19th century, about 1,000 barrels of
smoked eel were shipped to New
York City each year.

DID YOU KNOW?
The Oswego River was a major
boat and shipbuilding center from
the late 1700’s to the early 1900’s.
The industry thrived in the 1800’s
when sloops, schooners, tugboats,
steamboats, and canalboats were
built here. And today in the oldest
drydock on Lake Ontario, the
Oswego Maritime Foundation is
building a new schooner, the
OMS Ontario!

There were over 160 shipwrecks
along Oswego County’s Lake
Ontario shoreline, making this
an exciting place for scuba divers
to explore.
Motorboating
Naval Ships
Oswego County is host to New York State’s first
diving preserve in the Great Lakes. The New York State
David W. Mills Submerged Cultural Preserve and Dive
Site features the shipwreck of the freighter David W.
Mills and provides a mooring buoy to allow visiting
scuba divers to easily find and access the site.
The Port of Oswego each season
welcomes ships from around the
world as the first port of call on
the Great Lakes. It handles nearly
one million tons of cargo and is
the oldest freshwater port in
North America.
From June 21-25, 2001, the
port of Oswego will serve as
the first port of call for the Tall
Ships Challenge™ Great Lakes
race series, organized by the
American Sail Training Association. Tour majestic tall ships
from around the world as they gather in Oswego Harbor
before they race to Toronto in the first leg of the Great Lakes
Challenge. Oswego’s rich maritime history, protected harbor
and deep wharf make it a natural to host this event. A raised
shoreline of parks and historic Fort Ontario’s ramparts will
provide a panoramic view of the ships.
The preserve is located four and one-half miles
west of Oswego Harbor in an area called Ford Shoal. In
August 1919, the 202-foot steamer ran aground on the
shoal in dense smog created by Canadian forest fires.
Efforts to free the ship failed, and it broke apart in a
violent storm.
Today, divers can explore the wreck’s many
attractions, including the intact keel and 11-foot
propeller, engine, port and starboard hulls, boiler,
winch and anchor. The site is free of penetration areas
and appropriate for beginner divers. Resting in 12 to
25 feet of water, the bright natural light, remarkable
visibility, and abundant wildlife provide excellent
opportunities for photographers.
The Oswego River is part of the
NYS Canal System, successor to
the historic Erie Canal, once the
principal route of access to the
interior of the North American
continent. The Oswego Canal
section was completed in 1828.
The Oswego River is one of the
few rivers in the United States that
flows north.
Oswego County has 47.2 miles of
shoreline along Lake Ontario and
Oneida Lake.
The New York State Canal travels
through the middle of Oneida Lake,
connecting Sylvan Beach and
Brewerton.

Wildlife
DID YOU KNOW?
Oswego County’s sunsets are
regarded by many as the most
beautiful in the world.
Derby Hilll attracts tens of
thousands of migratory birds
each spring and is one of the
most important viewing spots for
broad-winged hawks in the East.
They rest as they migrate northward by gliding on air currents
above the hills along Lake Ontario
near Mexico Point.
Northern Oswego County’s Tug
Hill region is the ultimate winter
playground, and receives more
snowfall than anywhere else east
of the Rocky Mountains—as much
as 20 feet each year!
Many thousands of acres of our
great outdoors were once owned
by Alexander Hamilton. The land
was sold to pay off his debts
following his fatal encounter with
Aaron Burr.
The Onondaga Indians used
Oswego County as their hunting
and fishing ground before the
area was settled by Europeans.
The Salmon River is so named,
local legend says, because when
early settlers first arrived here, you
could walk across the river on the
backs of the Atlantic Salmon
when they made their annual
fall migration.
