WELCOME TO SENECALAKECAM.COM/LIVE!

I’ve always said I feel like I have the best view in the marina and wish I could share it with everyone - now we’re giving it a try! Behold - when it’s working - a livestreamed view of the Seneca-Cayuga Canal from my boat, the M/V WIN. This is the location where the canal enters Seneca Lake, approximately mile 17.3 on the Seneca-Cayuga section of the canal system. Wave when you motor past us! Enjoy!

Feed not working? We may be out on the lake! (Or, more likely, the WiFi may be on the fritz). Email mail@trojanyacht.com to let me know! And scroll down for lots of photos and information on Seneca Lake.

M/V WIN is a 1977 Trojan Tri-Cabin, a 36’ cabin cruiser that’s been on Seneca Lake most of her 43 year-old life. You can read more about her at TrojanYacht.com. You’ll notice I love taking pictures of my boat almost as much as I love taking pictures of the lake!

SENECA SUNSETS

Here’s a collection of photos of Seneca Lake I’ve taken over the years. If our live feed is down, these may help to tide you over until we’re back online... enjoy!

OTHER VIEWS

Seneca Lake’s beauty goes far beyond sunsets and sunrises. Those of us who love this area find beauty in just about everything about it. Ever sat in a cottage on the banks watching a snowstorm coming across the lake? Beautiful. Caught the moon’s reflection as it arcs across the entire lake? Spectacular. Motored down the canal? Beautiful sights everywhere. Here, in no particular order, are some of the alternate views you may or may not have seen…

SENECA LAKE IN WINTER

If you’re one of the many summer cottagers who come to enjoy the lake in the fair weather but winterize it and return home when the cold returns, you might be interested in seeing what the lake looks like when it’s close to 0 degrees. These pictures are from some of the coldest days in recent memory, back in 2017.

‘NIGHT MODE’ ACTIVATED

Here are some photos taken with the ‘night mode’ setting on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Looking forward to getting lots more of these when the boat is launched this month.

CINEMATIC

Anamorphic, anyone? These cinematic shots were taken with the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the Sandmarc Anamorphic Lens. Lots more to come!

BIRD’S EYE VIEW

Here are a few drone shots, as well… expect more of these in the near future. These were taken from Pastime Park, an area on the eastern shore at the north end of the lake.

PANORAMIC

Here are a few panoramic shots taken on the iPhone. It’s amazing the difference between recent shots and photos taken just a few years ago. When I upgrade to the newest iPhone every year I do so with photos of Seneca Lake in mind.

SENECA LAKE FACTS & FIGURES

I grew up on Seneca Lake, and may be biased when I say I think we can all agree that it’s the most beautiful of all the Finger Lakes. Wondering more about Seneca Lake? It is the deepest of the Finger Lakes, at 630 feet. (Its average depth is 291 feet). This gives it a volume of 4.2 trillion gallons - more than 50% of the water found in all of the Finger Lakes! The lake is the second-longest of the Finger Lakes, at 35 miles in length. At its widest point it’s 3 miles wide. In terms of surface area, boaters will find more than sixty square miles on which to roam.

If you love Seneca Lake as much as I do, you’ll want to check out the work being done by Seneca Lake Pure Waters Association. The organization uses a network of volunteers to monitor the lake, as well as its streams and watershed, keeping an eye out for HABs - harmful algae blooms. They work to educate the public, as well. on everything from boater safety to the history of shipwrecks on Seneca Lake. You can visit their website at SenecaLake.org to explore and become a member…
