  • I live near here and I have no idea about it.

  • Its called a Karst region. there is a lot of underground chemical weather that creates massive underground drainage, hence where all the water goes. Thats just what i learned from my geology class

  • ....But did anyone see the ninjas?

  • Wow. how strange.  but interesting. thanks for sharing. :

  • it's caused by the water table rising during the winter time of the year. the water doesn't "go" anywhere. it's level just drops

  • wow. the lake is still there. plants just cover it up which makes it look like nothings there. like you see in a lake shore or river shore. kinda got me for a minute as well. lol.

  • @theboss3453 the lake actually does dry up in the summer months and returns in the spring to flood out pleasant vally rd. you can walk on solid dry ground. this is probably a bad video to use as this is before its final dry up stage. Lived in Marcellus all my life trust me the water goes away completely.

  • @magnavox50 wow really. thats some shit. amazing. and scary.

  • thats algae... for those uneducated people lmao its a plant thingy that grows in water and its green

  • that is really cool

  • weird but soo cool...i wonder were the water goes?

  • Ah, so famous that there's no information on it online. Thank you to the commenters who cleared up why this field is supposed to be interesting.

  • wait.. so what is it supposed to be?

  • @rcoony ok so perhaps "WORLD" famous was a bit too strong a word to use LOL but to the people of the Syracuse NY area they all know about it. The State DOT has for years tried to figure out where the water comes from and goes too and even built an elaborate drainage system that has failed to eliminate the water collection it cost local tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars.

  • @rcoony Your a pratical joker :D

  • there are 3 drain holes located at the bottom of the lake. there have been many dives that have attepted to find the whereabouts of the water when it disappears but no one has ever figured it out.

    my grandma lives next to the lake. i used to go there every day when i was really little.

  • I believe the water went into the drain holes.

    so you used to live with your grandmother?

  • well i was just stroling around youtube and gues whose comment i found! :D haha

  • So this lake isn't always dry? Does it fill up?

  • i know where the water goes, into the ground and evaporation.

  • hahaha MARCELLUS!!

  • Disappearing Lake in Marcellus, New York is a natural wonder. In any given year the valley may be full of water, or completely dry as shown here. Dye tests have been done, but it has never been determined exactly where the water goes when it disappears.

  • I guess it disappeared.

  • a little explanation would go a long way..
