TRAVEL: Let's Go to Sylvan Beach!

"Let's go to the beach, each, let's go get away. They say what they gonna say." Starships by Nicki Minaj 

Hello Lovelies,

Living Upstate New York doesn't mean, never going to the beach and get away! Although, there is no ocean around (of course), there are still several lakes with beautiful beaches for everyone to enjoy! One of my favorite is Sylvan beach.

Sylvan beach is actually a small village (a small population of approximately 900) in Oneida county, New York, USA, more specifically in the western end of the town of Vienna. The beach side is adjacent to the Erie canal and on the east shore of Oneida Lake (wiki!)

Sometimes, it's hard to find what to do here Upstate New York but there are a lot of activities to do at Sylvan Beach:

  

1. Go to the Sylvan Beach Amusement park | 2. Have fun at Turning Stone Casino & Resort (The nightclub Lava is the place to be on Fri & Sat)| 3. Visit Fort Rickey children's discovery zoo | 4. Or take a trip to the Erie Canal

 I love the Farmers Market (happens every Fri)!
