New York Sea Grant is coordinating the development of the "Dive the Great Lakes Seaway Trail" program in partnership with the 454-mile Great Lakes Seaway Trail National Scenic Byway. The dive site system includes the New York State David W. Mills Submerged Cultural Preserve and Dive Site near Oswego, the Eagle Wings Dive Site near Clayton, the Islander wreck in Alexandria Bay, and the historic wreck of the St. Peter near Pultneyville. Each is accessible from some point along the Great Lakes Seaway Trail.

Each marker features footprints and a watermark reminding you that the route parallels NYS's and Pennsylvania's freshwater coastline.

The Great Lakes Seaway Trail is proud to have been selected as a National Scenic Byway by the U.S. Department of Transportation. National Scenic Byways "possess outstanding qualities that exemplify the regional characteristics of our nation." The Great Lakes Seaway Trail was chosen for its unique landscape which has been sculpted by the forces of nature and for its historical significance.
