Additional Infos
 
 Access to this site is provided by the Finger Lakes Underwater Preservation Association (FLUPA). A map of many wrecks in this area can be found at www.flupa.org. If you dive here, please log your visit on a slate at 15' depth on the mooring line.

Drop to bottom of mooring line and land on remnant of a barge at 30'(The Step Barge).

Head 020N magnetic for 200' to find large barge in 50'-70' of water.

Head south from mooring about the same distance to find a smaller barge lying in 30'-50' of water.

The 50'-70' barge is still in excellent shape, only the stern has collapsed. Visibility can be quite good at times thanks to the zebra mussels which cover the entire area. If there is a strong north or south wind, there may be a moderate current.
