What we chart on Lake Ontario
Navigating Lake Ontario
Lake Ontario, NY is a lake in New York, and this page collects what Navi Wake knows about navigating it. The lake is charted for routing, which means Navi Wake can plan a path across open water that stays off the land and follows the channel instead of drawing a straight line through a peninsula.
We hold 2,438 charted navigation aids on Lake Ontario. That breaks down into 444 channel markers, 1,523 marked hazards, 158 lights, 105 locks, and 208 special-purpose markers. We also chart 251 public boat ramps and 265 marinas on the shoreline, mapped separately from the aids above. Depth coverage comes from 8,915 surveyed soundings and 1,850 depth contours, which is what lets the chart shade the shallows.
