Home Geography Resources Definitions Seneca Lake

Seneca Lake Written by Paula Long    Seneca Lake is named for the Seneca Indian Nation. It is the largest of the Finger Lakes.  It is 38 miles long and and 618 feet deep at its deepest point.  Seneca Lake is fed by underground streams so it does not usually freeze over in the winter. The city of Watkins Glen sits at the southern tip of Seneca Lake.  Geneva, Waterloo, and Dresden are other towns along Seneca Lake.
