We have 200 feet of private lake frontage. Skaneateles is a glacier formed lake that is over 250 feet deep in the middle, but ankle deep on the edges as you can see in the picture. Typically you can walk out about 50, but not 51 feet. The floor is limestone, meaning no muddy gunk between your toes. If you've never seen Skaneateles, you won't believe how crystal clear it is. Most of our guests tell us it's the most beautiful lake they've ever seen. We agree.
Our large permanent dock is 40 by 20 feet with trex decking. There is also 20 feet of temporary dock extended off our permanent dock. It's a fun place to swim and fish. This picture looks like fun. The girls are jumping into about four feet of water depth.
Boating -- Skaneateles is a large recreational lake (15 miles by 1 mile) with sail and power boats of all sizes. Pull up your boat and anchor by our docks (mooring provided). Boat rentals by the day or week are available from the Sailboat Shop and the Skaneatels Marina. Paul's Pontoon is available sometimes ... ask him for details. Fortunately, Skaneatels is a quiet lake with not a lot of boat traffic.
Fishing -- you can eat the fish out of this beautiful lake. Rainbow trout, salmon and bass are particularly good while the lakers are some of the largest in the U.S. Fish hit like crazy in the spring time especially. Lake trolling and charters are available or you can fish right off our dock.
Our kids love to go tubing. You can tube, water ski, scuba dive and snorkel Skaneateles. We also like to take boat trips into town for ice cream, to the Glen Haven Inn at the south end of the lake for dinner, to the cliffs area for fossil hunting and the "beach" area at the cove.
the Boardwalk -- I told our builder that if "by the grace of God I am alive when I'm 90, I still want to walk down to the lake". Mike built a brilliant boardwalk that runs the entire span of our 200 feet of lakefront. Because of the boardwalk, the lakeside is safe for the kids and easy on the grandparents.....considering the cabin is built into the side of a mountain forest.
