I definitely think much of the info used to make those lists is BS. I grew up in Syracuse which is where Onondaga lake is and nobody boats it cause axis chemical polluted the sh!t out of it. I live in buffalo now and hear they are trying to clean it up but I'm farely sure its still no where you would go boating.
Suks that it got polluted like this.
This is all the article syays about this lake.

11. Onondaga Lake, New York
Once ignobly hailed as the most polluted lake in the nation, Onondaga Lake is making a slow but steady comeback thanks to the EPA. Listed as a Superfund site in 1994, the lake drew attention not just for its history of industrial pollution but for its potential to spill that pollution all over the nearby water system and residential areas. The cocktail of pollution ranged from mercury and pesticides to good old fashioned human sewage. Between 2012 and 2014 alone, the EPA’s designated “responsible parties” — those who polluted the lake — dredged and removed 2.2 million cubic yards of contamination from the lakebed.
