Murphy's Island — photo spot in Syracuse, NY 13290, USA


Murphy's Island
Score6.8Small island and wetland edge in the Onondaga Lake/Onondaga Creek area offering water reflections, reed beds, boardwalks and skyline/industrial backdrops. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm light and calm water; weekday mornings have fewer visitors. Flat, easy trails with nearby parking; expect bugs in summer and dress for muddy edges. Great for intimate waterscape, marsh detail and migratory bird shoots.
