The 11 Finger Lakes, deep glacier-cut lakes located in the center of New
York State, comprise one of the most scenic and unspoiled areas in
the world. Hillsides carpeted with vineyards, more than 80 wineries,
hundreds of inns and B&Bs, hiking and biking trails, open meadows
and farmlands, along with sophisticated neat lakeside villages provide
a respite from hectic lives.
Take a scenic cruise on one of the lakes, picnic near the tallest waterfall
east of the Mississippi, sail or waterski in the cobalt waters, camp along
the shores where the Indians once lived, and attend an outdoor band concert.
