Seneca Lake (New York)
Seneca Lake
is the largest of the glacial
Finger Lakes
of the
U.S. state
of
New York
, and the deepest lake entirely within the state. It is promoted as being the
lake trout
capital of the world, and is host of the National Lake Trout Derby. Because of its depth and relative ease of access, the US Navy uses Seneca Lake to perform test and evaluation of equipment ranging from single element transducers to complex sonar arrays and systems. The lake takes its name from the
Seneca
nation of
Native Americans
. At the north end of Seneca Lake is the city of
Geneva, New York
, home of
Hobart and William Smith Colleges
and the
New York State Agricultural Experiment Station
, a division of
Cornell University
. At the south end of the lake is the village of
Watkins Glen, New York
, famed for
auto racing
and
waterfalls
