Finger Lakes Lodges & Inns
Eleven long, narrow lakes carved by glaciers define this region, and the south-facing slopes that drop to their shores grow Riesling and Gewürztraminer that have started winning international attention. The food and lodging scene around Ithaca, Geneva, and Skaneateles has matured into something genuinely worth the 4.5-hour drive from the city — farm-to-table restaurants, inn-style stays with lake views, and the gorges that cut through the hills around Cornell rewarding hikers who show up in any season. Watkins Glen adds one of the state's most spectacular state parks at the southern end of Seneca Lake.
