It's a moderately busy college town, on the immediate shores of Lake Ontario.

Beautiful summers, ridiculously cold and snowy winters. Due to lake effect snow Oswego gets more than 125 inches of snow per year and temperatures remain in the teens and 20's. Summer temps in the 70's and 80's with a cool lake breeze.

Great place for fishing and boating in the summer and early fall.

Within 3 hours of Niagra Falls, less than an hour from Syracuse and about 1 - 2 hours from the Adirondak Mountains.
