Everything about Irondequoit Bay totally explained
Irondequoit Bay is a large
body of water located in northeastern
Monroe County,
New York. The bay, roughly 0.5 miles wide and four miles in length, is fed by
Irondequoit Creek to the south and flows into
Lake Ontario at its northern end. On average, the surface of Irondequoit Bay rests at 245 feet above
sea level and is 68 feet deep at its deepest point a short distance north of the
Irondequoit Bay Bridge carrying the six-lane
New York State Route 104 over the bay.
The center of the bay acts as the eastern border for the town of
Irondequoit and the western border of the towns of
Penfield and
Webster. The Irondequoit-Penfield boundary continues along the center of Irondequoit Creek south of the
New York State Route 404 float bridge.. About 12,000 years ago the area underwent massive changes which included rerouting of the Genesee River and other water bodies. As the earth rebounded from the melting glaciars more rapidly in Canada than in this area, water spilled over New York. "The original outlet of the river has also flooded, forming Irondequoit Bay.".
On an early French map of the area, LeLac Ontario, Ontario Bay was referred to as “swamp of the Senecas”.
