5 Finger Lakes You Need to Check Out
1. Cayuga Lake
Cayuga Lake is made for all of the wine lovers out there (and Seneca Lake, too. We?ll get there next.). Cayuga Lake is known for its incredible, award-winning wines, made on the very first designated wine trail in the United States, the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail.
Anyone who loves scenic hikes and lazy boat rides loves Seneca Lake. There are tons of water activities for the adventure lover as Seneca Lake is the longest of all the Finger Lakes. Plus, if you have someone in your group who isn?t into outdoor activities, they might like the wine trail. That?s right, another wine trail! The Seneca Lake Wine Trail is just as significant as the one by Cayuga Lake, and it?s the biggest wine trail in New York!
Are you looking for the best fishing in the region? Keuka Lake is where you can find it! This stunning lake has the healthiest population of lake trout, largemouth bass, and more, so you can have a successful time catching dinner!
Canandaigua Lake is known as the ?Chosen Spot? by the Native Americans, and it?s no wonder why. In fact, the Seneca Tribe used to burn tobacco around the lake in gratitude for giving them an abundant harvest. The ring of fire is still a Canandaigua Lake tradition to this day!
Honeoye Lake sits just between Canadice Lake and Canandaigua Lake. This smaller lake is perfect for a scenic bike ride, and is a favorite for many. If you visit the Finger Lakes in winter, you have to stop by this glistening beauty. Since Honeoye Lake is smaller, it freezes over more quickly, making it the perfect spot for winter sports like ice fishing and ice skating!
