A Wedding on Skaneateles Lake

Skaneateles Lake is one of the Finger Lakes in central New York. The name Skaneateles(pronunciation: "skanny-atlas," preferred, or "skinny-atlas" common) means long lake in one of the local Iroquois languages.  The cleanest of the Finger Lakes, its water is so pure that the city of Syracuse and other municipalities use it unfiltered.  William Henry Seward called it "The most beautiful body of water in the world."

The shores of Skaneateles Lake are in three counties: Onondaga, Cayuga, and Cortland. Generally new homes now are built for year-round occupancy rather than summer use and many summer cottages are replaced. The transient and seasonal population of this tourist destination and summer resort surges during the warmer months. Skaneateles is noted for its performing arts and amenities.
