Finger Lakes Region

New York Home | New York Sitemap
The Finger Lakes region embodies the bucolic splendor typical of New York’s countryside while providing national park quality outdoor adventure in its 11 long, narrow lakes and rolling, crag-split hills. The area encompasses pleasant and vital towns like Seneca Falls and Ithaca, and as the region’s best wine growing country it is home to 65 vineyards.

Boating and other water sports/activities are the prime pass-times here, but far from the only ones. Simply put, almost any conceivable type of outdoor adventure can be had in the Finger Lakes region. Any outdoor recreation from golf to cross-country skiing, cycling to camping, hunting to hang gliding, is available in and around Finger Lakes. Rock climbers will be especially busy in Ithaca’s many parks. Site seers and hikers won’t want to miss the spectacular 215-ft.
