Green Lakes State Park

Located southeast of Syracuse, Round Lake and Green Lake are glacial kettle lakes and the remnants of an ancient, gigantic waterfall. The lakes get their name from their characteristic aqua-marine color. These unique lakes are preserved within Green Lakes State Park and offer a spectacular view year-round.
