 Whitford's History of New York Canals. Chapter XVI, The Oneida Lake Canal.
The canal, as constructed, extended from the Erie canal at Higginsville to Wood creek, four and one-half miles, and thence to Oneida lake, a distance of two miles; the creek was used for navigation with a towing-path on the southerly bank.
By a measurement of Oneida creek at the same time, it was ascertained that this stream was capable of affording about fourteen hundred cubic feet per minute, but for some reason it was not transmitted through the feeder.
The new route proposed by the canal board shortened the distance by two miles, intersecting Oneida lake in the vicinity of South bay, and reaching the Erie canal in Madison county, a short distance west of Oneida creek, in the village of Durhamville.

 Oneida Lake Historyfrom the Oneida Lake Association
The Oneida Lake region was sparsely settled until the early 1800's, when the "Yankee Invasion" of Upstate New York sparked the area's first major development.
However, the lake was linked to the Erie by the Oneida River and through two "Oneida Lake Canals." The first of these, sometimes called the "Side Cut Canal," was built in the 1830's and connected the Erie Canal with Fish Creek, at a point about a mile east of the lake.
The second Oneida Lake canal, constructed in the 1870's during the heyday of New York State railroading, proved to be a dismal economic failure.

Internal social regulators at Oneida such as "Complex Marriage", "Mutual Criticism", and "Ascending and Descending Fellowship" were institutions created to further the spiritual mission of the group and to help them with the daily trials of their existence.
An introduction to the history of the Oneida Community would be incomplete without some discussion of the ability of the original Community and its subsequent incarnations to manage what is surely an extraordinary combination of continuity and change over the past 150 years.
The practice of "Complex Marriage" at Oneida was obviously a radical departure from acceptable social behavior and it was the one point on which all outside criticism of the Community focused over the course of its existence.

Oneida Lake is a remnant of Lake Iroquois, a huge body of water that formed nearly 12,000 years ago when, as the Ice Age ended, a glacier dammed the St. Lawrence River, flooding much of Central New York.
Oneida Lake, with its well-mixed waters (produced through a combination of shallow depths and powerful wind action), warm summer temperatures, and high levels of calcium required for shell formation, provides an ideal zebra mussel habitat.
Oneida Lake's water levels should be kept as they are, both to insure the health of the lake's valuable wetlands and to prevent any environmental damage to the lake's fragile ecosystem.
