Dove it with Captain Larry a couple years back. Not a wreck. Just a wall dive - near the shore of the lake, there are some relative shallowd then things fall of a cliff.

Trying to remember what it was called, would like to go back. Or maybe there a bunch of wall dives in the lake.
 
I'm not familiar with all the dive sites that Larry goes to but my guess is the The Palisades on the New York side or Thompson's Point near Charlotte, VT. Both turn into completely vertical walls. There is also Ferris Rock which is located northeast of Schuyler Island
 
If you dove it from shore its probably Thompson's Point. There is a steep trail headed down to a gravel beach. There is a line from about 15' down the slope to a bunch of bikes, then down the wall to at least 150'.

If you dove from Larry's boat then more likely Willsboro Point or Split Rock Point. The Willsboro charter usually leaves from Perkins Pier and the Split Rock one from Converse Bay.
 
That is a good point, it could be Split Rock or Willsboro Point.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I think it was Palisades, as the name is familiar. I remember there was an area of relative shallows, then boom. Cliff.

Pretty sure one of the striking features was the fact that there wasn't much of a shore in the traditional sense - things were pretty vertical where the rock meets the waterline.
