Weedsport lies on the Erie Canal in northeastern Cayuga County, on terrain shaped by the Finger Lakes drumlin field and the canal's long westward corridor. Soils across the village and the NYS Thruway Exit 40 commercial corridor are dominated by Honeoye silt loam and Lima silt loam on the drumlin flanks, Palmyra gravelly loam on the outwash benches, and Canandaigua silty clay loam and Lyons silt loam on the canal-side flats.
The Erie Canal, the Seneca River drainage to the north, and the Owasco Outlet drainage to the south all affect the village's hydrology. NYS Canal Corp review applies inside the canal prism. Commercial site work in Weedsport regularly involves structural fill on the clay-loam flats, cobbly trenching on the drumlin flanks, and dewatering on canal-adjacent parcels. Stormwater design ties into the Oswego River watershed. Shallow dolostone bedrock can appear on the higher drumlin summits, though most commercial excavation stays comfortably above rock across the buildable corridors. Frost depth is moderate.
