I was just there today. June 4, 2024. I walked from Warners Road through the "Camillus Landfill Bike Path" turning around at Gere's Lock (Lock 50). Other than 19th century maps, I cannot find ANY photos of the hamlet of Belle Isle. It has been obliterated. Defunct canal ditch and hamlet perhaps buried by landfill, or bulldozed out of existence. When did this little community disappear?

I'm sad that the background noise makes it impossible for me to understand the conversation :(
