Deep Run (Canandaigua Lake)

Deep Run is a significant tributary that flows into Canandaigua Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in western New York State. It is located on the western side of the lake, near the hamlet of Deep Run. The stream's name is derived from the relatively steep and deep ravine it has carved as it descends towards the lake.

Deep Run is important for its contribution to the overall watershed of Canandaigua Lake. Its waters carry sediment and nutrients that influence the lake's ecosystem. The stream also serves as a spawning ground for fish species found in Canandaigua Lake. The surrounding land, often wooded, helps filter runoff into Deep Run, playing a role in maintaining water quality.

The area around Deep Run is primarily rural, characterized by agriculture and wooded hillsides. Public access to the stream itself may be limited, depending on land ownership. Deep Run is considered part of the Canandaigua Lake watershed management efforts focused on preserving the lake's water quality and ecological health.
