Canal View Cafe

Canal-side seasonal restaurant operating since 1977 — its 50th season came in 2025 — overlooking the point where the Erie (Barge) Canal meets Oneida Lake. Boaters can tie up on the canal wall and walk in; the menu runs to family-recipe pasta, steaks, seafood, and sandwiches with a full bar.
