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

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

@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.
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.

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.
