Canastota is located in Central New York near the eastern shore of Oneida Lake along the historic Erie Canal.

With sandy beaches, picnic areas, boating, an amusement park, outstanding camping facilities, marinas, the finest fishing in the state, and a wide variety of shops and restaurants, the area's diversity and scenic beauty will appeal to the entire family.

Centrally located just minutes from the Sylvan-Verona Beach Resort Area, the Turning Stone Casino, Vernon Downs, the Boxing Hall Of Fame, and historic Rome, NY.

While Canastota is home to many commuters who daily carpool or drive to work in Syracuse, Rome, and Utica, it has a surprisingly large number of flourishing industries of its own.

Among the major employers are Diemolding Corporation, Owl Wire & Cable, and Queensboro.

It is the home of three custom tool companies and headquarters for Nice 'N Easy Convenience stores and All Seasons Vending Service, both of which have a presence throughout New York State.
