Constantia is a small, quiet town on Oneida Lake
Situated along Oneida Lake, Constantia refers to both a village and a town. The village is small, home to about 1,000 people. Meanwhile, the town is much bigger, including the nearby communities of Cleveland and Bernhards Bay, altogether with about 4,700 residents. “We have a pretty big footprint, so a lot of people live out back all the way by the town of Cleveland,” says Constantia town clerk Clare Haynes. While each community has a different selection of restaurants and amenities, they all center around Oneida Lake. “Our lake does span the majority of our town line. We have a couple of marinas here in town, and we have two different boat launches,” Haynes says. “We have 8 to 10 miles of lakeshore.” The lake also separates the community from Syracuse to the south, creating a quiet atmosphere and small-town feel. Constantia has a 2 out of 10 CAP Index Crime Score, which is lower than the national average of 4.

Fishing and boating on Oneida Lake and the county rail-to-trail
Private docks jut out onto Oneida Lake, but there are also public access points in the villages. Cleveland has a public boat launch and fishing pier right down the street from a bait shop. Oswego County and Constantia can have intense winters, so ice fishing is popular when the lake freezes. Also called Taft Park, Memorial Park at Taft Bay sits along the lakefront, with a public beach and lifeguards on duty in the summer. Residents also come here year-round for the playgrounds, baseball fields and basketball and tennis courts. “We have the recreational trail, which is an old railroad, and it goes right through town,” Haynes says. “It ends at the Oswego County line in Cleveland, and it ends in Central Square.” The Oswego County Recreational Trail is a little less than 30 miles long, traveling across the county. Three Mile Bay Wildlife Management Area has hunting and fishing on the lake.
