Onondaga Lake Outlet

Highlight • River

Steeped in indigenous history, the waters of Onondaga Lake's outlet transport runners back through generations of reverence, recreation and hardship. Once central to the Onondaga Nation, who consider the lake sacred, the site saw tourism bloom along its banks before environmental threats materialized. But even amid modern challenges, the Onondaga people remain tied to the land, just as joggers retrace the footprints of those who came before along the storied route.

Oswego Canal Lock 5

Highlight • Monument

Oswego Canal Lock 5 is located just north of the Minetto Bridge. As you traverse this historic lock, catch sight of the Minetto Hydro Plant on the east bank. Exiting the lock, spot stone abutments from the 1872 Minetto Bridge. Discover dark subterranean passages, remnants of the old Brosemer Brewery with a tunnel leading to the riverside. Careful observation may reveal the entrance today, offering a glimpse into the area's fascinating history.
