Powersports near Syracuse? (New York, Cicero, Oswego: home, club, association)

[TCMaster]

Are there any good places near Syracuse for riding Jet Skis, riding ATVs, or riding Snowmobiles?

All three sports are huge in the Syracuse area.

For Jet Skis: Oneida Lake is very popular. It's located just northeast of Syracuse....near Cicero. It is also the largest inland lake in New York State, so plenty of room to Jet Skis.

For ATVs, or riding Snowmobiles: Oswego County (the county just north of Syracuse) is probably the epicenter of these two sports in Upstate NY. With plenty of lake effect snow in Oswego County, people from all over the northeast flock there to snowmobile.

In the winter, it is frozen over from around Christmas to late March. Most years, water temperatures increases rapidly during May and June.... reaching a maximum of 77°F or more by mid-summer. In early November, it falls below 50 degrees.
