The lake has a rich history, with Native American tribes settling in the area over 10,000 years ago.

Today, Skaneateles Lake is a popular spot for recreational activities such as swimming, boating, and fishing. The lake is also home to several species of fish, including lake trout, rainbow trout, and smallmouth bass. Agriculture in the area is limited due to the steep terrain and limited flat land.
