Notes on the Lake

The west spit is a curved, sandy stretch of land from Manitou Beach to the mouth of Braddock Bay. It's in North Greece, New York on L. Ontario about 12 miles northwest of the Rochester/Irondequoit Bay/Genesee River area. Over the last century, hotels, dance halls and other structures have been built, burned down and just taken down due to neglect and the tangle of weeds that have overtaken them. Now, the spit stays uninhabited except for the animals, birds, trees and a single trail, mostly used by fisherpeople, birders and photographers.
