| Comments | "In 1863 a tributary of the Susquehanna River was diverted into the Oneida Lake drainage, during this period water from the Susquehanna River drainage would have been sluiced directly into the Erie canal. Lampreys entering the canal with this water would have reached the Seneca River which flowed into the Oswego River and from there into Lake Ontario." |
