About Port Bay

The shoreline of Port Bay is shallow with extensive beds of submersed, floating, and emergent aquatic vegetation. Nuisance invasive submergents like eurasian watermilfoil and curly leaf pondweed have been found in the bay. A mechanical harvester is operated annually by the Wayne County Soil and Water Conservation District to control the vegetation. (dec.ny.gov, accessed September 22, 2026)
