Onondaga Lake, located in Liverpool, New York, has a rich history dating back to the Native American Onondaga tribe. The lake is an important part of the regional hydrology and receives surface water flows from numerous creeks and streams, including Ninemile Creek and Ley Creek. Snowpack contributes to the lake's water resources during winter months. Historically, the lake has been heavily polluted due to industrial waste and poor sewage management, leading to the formation of a Superfund site. However, recent efforts to clean up the lake have been successful, leading to improvements in water quality and increased recreational uses such as fishing and boating. The lake also supports local agriculture through irrigation and provides a habitat for wildlife.
