Skaneateles Lake
is the most oligotrophic of New York State's Finger
Lakes with
characteristics typical of oligotrophic water
bodies, including increased dissolved oxygen concentrations with depth,
and high transparency levels. Skaneateles Lake has a rich blue-green
color because the lake waters are quite clear, which allows
blue-green wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the lake.
