Olcott Beach was one of the first beaches I visited as a kid. My grandfather and grandmother owned a cottage on Lake Road between Ransomville and Wilson. Of all the towns along the Great Lakes in New York State, Olcott is by far my favorite. This small town on Lake Ontario is full colorful shops, a vintage amusement park, Olcott basically has everything you want for your fun summer getaway.
Great Lakes water levels continue to rise and may reach record highs this season. Nowhere in Western New York is this more apparent than to the residents of Lake Ontario.
