17 Best Things To Do in The Finger Lakes

Updated April 4, 2023

The Finger Lakes region of central New York is known as an outdoor lover's paradise. Home to several expansive state parks, including Watkins Glen and Taughannock Falls , the area boasts excellent hiking trails and spectacular waterfalls. What'

• All Things To Do

Skaneateles Lake Skaneateles Lake free

U.S. News Insider Tip:  Ahead of your visit, book a spa treatment (and possibly an overnight stay) at the utterly charming Mirbeau Inn & Spa . Also, plan to have a cocktail at The Krebs. – Amanda Norcross, Content & SEO Strategist

Located about 20 miles southwest of Syracuse, Skaneateles Lake (pronounced skan-ee-AT-les) is one of the cleanest Finger Lakes. The name means "long lake" in the Iroquois language and indeed, the 16-mile lake crosses three counties: Onandaga, Cayuga and Cortland. The historic Skaneateles Village dates back to the late 1700s and is filled with local shops, restaurants, inns and bed-and-breakfasts. The sparkling, clear lake is a favorite for boating and fishing.

Finger Lakes Skiing Finger Lakes Skiing

During the winter season, the Finger Lakes region is a destination for both downhill and cross-country skiers. The two major year-round resorts, Bristol Mountain and Greek Peak , offer a variety of winter sports from downhill skiing and snowboarding to snow tubing and snowshoeing.

Bristol Mountain is located about 35 miles south of Rochester in Canandaigua. The ski resort has a 1,200-foot vertical rise, making it the highest vertical rise between the Rockies and the Adirondacks . The facility has 138 acres of skiable terrain including 3 kilometers of Nordic trails. Skiers can choose their level of difficulty from the 39 slopes and trails the resort has to offer. Recent visitors say the scenery is beautiful on the slopes and the trails are well-kept.

Watkins Glen State Park Watkins Glen State Park

One of the most popular state parks within the region, Watkins Glen is known for its 19 waterfalls and picturesque trails, especially the Gorge Trail. This looped path, which spans 2 miles, winds over and under the falls and through the spray of the Cavern Cascade. A shuttle runs to the top of the trail for those who prefer not to hike up the long slope. However, keep in mind the Gorge Trail is seasonal, open from late May through mid-October.

Camping is available at the park from mid-May through mid-October. The park has 305 campsites complete with restroom facilities, showers, dumping stations and firewood for sale. Reservations can be made online or through the call center. The New York State Park Campgrounds also allow same-day reservations the day of arrival until 3 p.m. Both campers and day visitors also receive access to the park's Olympic-size swimming pool. What's more, the park offers picnic facilities. You'll find fishing off-site at nearby Seneca Lake or Catherine Creek, which is known for its spring run of rainbow trout.

Corning Museum of Glass Corning Museum of Glass

The Corning Museum of Glass offers one of the world's best collections of art and historical glass, from a portrait of an Egyptian pharaoh to works by Tiffany and Chihuly. The museum's Innovation Center focuses on the science of glass, featuring hands-on exhibits and live glassmaking demonstrations. Visitors can also take a beginner's glassmaking class. If you bring your smartphone or tablet, you can download the museum's GlassApp, which includes videos, artist bios and photos you can reference while walking through the museum.

Many recent visitors raved about the free demonstrations and hands-on experiences, which cover everything from sandblasting to glass blowing. Reviewers were also quick to note that seats for demonstrations fill quickly and recommend arriving early to secure a spot. Others loved the exhibits showcasing work by Tiffany and Chihuly. On your way out, don't forget to stop at the museum store another highlight for reviewers.

Seneca Lake Wine Trail Seneca Lake Wine Trail

U.S. News Insider Tip: If you prefer red wines to whites, be sure to visit Chateau LaFayette Reneau, one of the best wineries in the Finger Lakes . Fox Run, Boundary Breaks and Wagner Vineyards are also top-notch. – Amanda Norcross, Content & SEO Strategist

The Seneca Lake Wine Trail, situated in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine region, is one of the most popular trails, offering 27 wineries in a concentrated area adjacent to the 75-mile shoreline, making it easy to visit several in a daytrip. Known for its excellent riesling, the region's varietals also include chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet franc and gewürztraminer.

Robert Treman State Park Robert Treman State Park

Robert Treman State Park is known for its rugged and stony gorge, Enfield Glen, and the 115-foot Lucifer Falls. In fact, Lucifer Falls is just one of 12 waterfalls along the park's 9 miles of winding trails. The park also features a stream-fed swimming area beneath a waterfall, campsites, cabins and RV sites.

Recent visitors called Robert Treman the best state park in the region thanks to its gorgeous views, but caution that you must be in good shape to hike up the steep trail to the upper falls. Meanwhile, photography buffs said the old mill and Gorge Trail offer great photo ops. Animal lovers appreciated the pet-friendly hiking and camping.

Taughannock Falls State Park Taughannock Falls State Park

The waterfall at Taughannock Falls State Park is one of New York's most spectacular natural sights, descending more than 200 feet over 400-foot-tall rocky cliffs above the gorge. It is the tallest free-falling waterfall east of the Mississippi. Trails offer stunning views from above the falls and campsites and cabins line the sparkling Cayuga Lake, which also offers a marina and a beach. The park also boasts trails for cross-country skiing, sledding slopes and skating ponds, making it a year-round destination. In the summer, concerts are held along the lake shore.

Recent visitors say the hike to the waterfalls is well worth the experience. The easiest way to access the falls is to walk the 0.75-mile Gorge Trail. Along the way, hikers will pass the lower falls, which is a 15-foot cascade located downstream.

The Strong National Museum of Play The Strong National Museum of Play

Who wouldn't love a museum dedicated to play? The Strong National Museum of Play in downtown Rochester has something for kids of any age. From "Sesame Street," board games, dolls and books to the latest electronic games, the museum is home to the world's most comprehensive toy collection. Interactive exhibits include a replica Wegmans grocery store where kids can shop and use a cash register and an area devoted to the history of vehicles, from trucks and trains to planes and boats. There are also rotating exhibits that have featured everything from women who shaped the gaming industry to toys of the 1990s.

Many recent visitors, as well as local residents, call this interactive facility a "gem" and a great place to take kids and grandkids, saying it's particularly well-suited for children ages 2 to 10. Some parents recommend bringing drinks and snacks (you can picnic on museum grounds or dine in a designated area in the museum) and several say the butterfly conservatory is worth the extra money.

George Eastman Museum George Eastman Museum

Located in Rochester, this facility is the world's oldest museum of photography and one of the oldest film archives. It is housed within the former estate of George Eastman, a photography and film pioneer. The National Historic Landmark pays homage to the history of photography and motion picture film, offering both permanent and temporary exhibits, an extensive library and a 500-seat theater, which shows more than 300 films each year. Past exhibitions have covered the relationship between photography and our national parks and the history of space photography.

Recent visitors called this museum "a must for the photography enthusiast" and said that even if you're not interested in film and photography, the historic mansion and gorgeous gardens are worth a visit. Reviewers also highly recommended the on-site cafe for lunch.

Cornell University Cornell University free

Founded in 1865 by Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, this Ivy League private university is located in Ithaca. When you're not exploring Cornell's 745 acres, head to Collegetown for budget-friendly eats and university apparel, or nearby Cayuga Lake for more outdoorsy pursuits.

Recent visitors said the campus is gorgeous especially in the fall and an ideal place to take photographs thanks to the beautiful old academic buildings (many of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places). You'll also spot stunning views of the surrounding lakes from the campus's hilltop perch (specifically, the Libe Slope Overlook). Some reviewers bemoaned the lack of available parking and recommended visiting on a weekend when there aren't major university events (hint: avoid homecoming, commencement and home football games). You can view a calendar of events on the university's website .

Watkins Glen International Watkins Glen International free

Since 1948, Watkins Glen has been one of the premier racing facilities in North America, hosting everything from the Ferrari Challenge North America to the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Legendary drivers, including Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin and Tony Stewart, have tested their skills on this course, and visitors can follow in their footsteps with the Drive the Glen program. Guests can take two laps on the 3.4-mile course and also receive a commemorative finish line photo. The venue also hosts large regional events, such as the Finger Lakes Wine Festival.

Visitors from all over the world love the Drive the Glen program, calling it the highlight of the trip, and recommend arriving early to avoid long lines. Others enjoyed watching practice rounds and taking in the scenic views of Seneca Lake (both of which can be experienced for free).

Harriet Tubman National Historical Park Harriet Tubman National Historical Park

Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist who was born into slavery in Maryland in 1822. As an adult, she escaped to the North when she learned she was to be sold after the death of her enslaver. Tubman would make the same trip over and over for the next decade to help free not only the family she left behind in Maryland but also dozens of other enslaved people. Once Tubman emancipated her family, they relocated first to Ontario, Canada; then to Fleming and Auburn, New York. New York was where she would spend the remainder of her life. 

Today, visitors can tour the Harriet Tubman National Historical Park – located about 1.5 miles from downtown Auburn – to explore Tubman's life after her contributions during slavery and the Civil War. The park was established by the National Park Service in 2017.

Women's Rights National Historical Park Women's Rights National Historical Park

Seneca Falls is known as the "birthplace of women's rights." It was in this New York town where the first women's rights convention was held in the United States in July 1848. The purpose of the Seneca Falls Convention – as the meeting was known – was to discuss the "social, civil and religious condition and rights of woman." 

Located right off of highway U.S. 20 in Seneca Falls, the Women's Rights National Historical Park commemorates the historic 1848 event while reminding visitors that the fight for women's rights continues today. The park consists of four major properties: the Wesleyan Methodist Church, the Elizabeth Cady Stanton House, M'Clintock House and Hunt House. 

Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park

Imagine being able to visit 50-acres of outdoor serenity. If this sounds ideal, the Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park may be the ideal day trip. The estate is one of two public gardens in the New York State Parks System. The property was once the summer home of New York banker Frederick Ferris Thompson and his wife, Mary Clark Thompson.

Guests can visit the 40-room mansion's many staterooms including the Great Hall, billiard and trophy rooms, library, dining room and upstairs bedrooms.

Cayuga Lake Wine Trail Cayuga Lake Wine Trail

U.S. News Insider Tip:  Go wine tasting by boat in the summertime. Bianconi Tours and Wine to Water Tours both offer this experience. – Amanda Norcross, Content & SEO Strategist

The Cayuga Lake Wine Trail is the first-organized and longest-serving wine trail in the United States. Located along the 40-mile Cayuga Lake, expect to see astounding views of the lake and the Taughannock Falls while enjoying the wineries along the trail. The Cayuga Lake wineries have earned more than 6,000 national and international medals over the years.

Embarking on the boat tour on Seneca Lake was an absolute delight! From start to finish, Captain Fred's boat tour offered us an unparalleled experience filled with perfect weather, great personality and exceptional hospitality. We are already planning our return trip, eager to relive those magical moments on the shimmering waters of Seneca Lake.

From the moment we stepped aboard, the weather seemed to synchronize with our excitement. The clear blue skies and gentle breeze were the perfect companions as we set off on our adventure. The warmth of the sun on our skin amplified the sense of serenity and joy that only a beautiful day on the water can provide.

Our boat tour on Senaca Lake had great weather and was perfect for being on the water. We enjoyed learning the history and an old myth tale of the lake that Captain Fred delighted us with.

We will definitely be booking again for our next trip. My best friend already booked another private tour for her husband's upcoming birthday.

I appreciate the small little touches both Fred and his wife did to make our experience quite memorable for our party of 5. I highly recommend Falling Waters Boat Tours as it was pure bliss!!!

• 6 Of The Most Charming Small Towns To Visit In The Finger Lakes

One of the most popular travel destinations in northeastern USA , the lovely Finger Lakes region is also home to some of the most attractive small towns in New York State . Consisting of 11 narrow yet long strips of water just south of Lake Ontario , this unique landscape was shaped by vast glaciers that carved out the rock here. Then, as they retreated, they left behind the spectacular “valleys of water” we know today as the Finger Lakes. The best of the communities that have sprung up here now serve as excellent bases from which to venture out and explore the region. From Watkins Glen with its picturesque state park to Corning, the country’s glassmaking capital, these six charming small towns in the Finger Lakes are just waiting to be explored.

Our first stop is Geneva , a picturesque community located on the northern shores of Seneca Lake , roughly halfway between Rochester and Syracuse . A highlight of a visit is exploring Geneva’s South Main Street Historic District, a beautiful area of 140 historically significant buildings. Historic highlights include Pultney Park and the original quadrangle of the Hobart College campus, as well as the elegant Rose Hill Mansion. Built in 1839 in Greek Revival fashion, this former working estate is open for guided tours that provide a glimpse into 19th-century life.

Interested in the performing arts? The historic Smith Opera House has been around since 1894 and continues to serve as a cultural hub for music, dance, and theater performances. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the Kashong Conservation Area with its 84 acres of protected land, perfect for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Geneva also draws anglers. Dubbed the “Lake Trout Capital of the World,” it has been home to the National Lake Trout Derby since 1964.

With a name like Naples, you know this picturesque town will be nice. Surrounded by lush landscapes and situated near lakes Honeoye and Canandaigua , Naples is famous among outdoor lovers for its proximity to numerous natural wonders. One of the best is the Conklin Gully 12 Falls Trail, a popular yet challenging 2.6-mile hike that follows a riverbed and features a series of beautiful waterfalls. Grimes Glen Park is another great spot for fans of scenic hikes and waterfalls.

Naples also boasts a vibrant arts scene, with the Bristol Valley Theater being a perfect place to visit for a culture fix. A great time to visit is in September during the annual Naples Grape Festival, an event that’s been drawing crowds since 1961 to sample local vintages, foods, and artisan products.

Watkins Glen

Watkins Glen ’s location at the southern tip of Seneca Lake makes it an equally ideal destination for a day trip or a fun weekend getaway. The star of the show here is Watkins Glen State Park , a spectacular area of outstanding natural beauty set along a gorge carved by Ice Age glaciers. The park features 19 waterfalls along its trails, with the gorge path allowing you to walk under, over, and along the falls; it’s an especially lovely experience when the fall colors have arrived.

Other fun things to do in this part of the world include catching a NASCAR race at the Watkins Glen International track or participating in the Finger Lakes Food and Wine Festival, held at the racetrack each July. Visitors can continue their wine experience along the Seneca Wine Trail with scenic views and tastings at some of the area's most celebrated vineyards.

Hammondsport

Located at the southern end of Keuka Lake , Hammondsport is popular for its charming village-like ambiance. Established in the 1790s, it quickly earned a reputation for its stunning lakeside setting as well as for its winemaking tradition, with the village serving as a gateway to the Keuka Lake Wine Trail. Popular local wineries to visit here include Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery, Heron Hill Winery, and Bully Hill Vineyards, each of which offers sampling and tours.

Another reason to include Hammondsport on a Finger Lakes travel itinerary is the fact it’s home to the excellent Glenn H. Curtiss Museum. Celebrating the life and innovations of the pioneering aviator and inventor after whom it’s named, the museum showcases early aircraft, motorcycles, and exhibits on the development of naval aviation. Be sure to allow time to explore the village itself with its picturesque village square, boutique shops, and classy eateries.

Its location at the crossroads of the I-99 and I-86 highways near the Pennsylvania border makes Corning an excellent (and accessible) getaway destination. Known worldwide for its glassmaking heritage, the centerpiece of this attractive town’s allure is the Corning Museum of Glass, a fascinating attraction dedicated to the art, history, and science of glass. In addition to its glassmaking demonstrations, interactive exhibits, and a vast collection of more than 45,000 glass objects spanning 35 centuries, the museum also offers guests the unique hands-on experience of creating their own glass artwork.

Another key attraction is the Gaffer District, Corning's downtown area. Named after the old English term for a professional glassblower, the district is a picturesque, walkable area brimming with boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants, and historic architecture. The Heritage Village of the Southern Finger Lakes is another must-visit. It offers a glimpse into the 19th century with its collection of preserved buildings, including a 1796 log cabin, the Benjamin Patterson Inn, and a one-room schoolhouse.

Our last stop is Aurora , a quaint village on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake that’s recognized for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture and its tranquil, picturesque surroundings. At the heart of Aurora's appeal is the historic Wells College campus, founded in 1868 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its beautiful grounds and buildings. The nearby Aurora Arts and Design Center showcases the work of local artists and artisans, offering a glimpse into the vibrant creative community that thrives here, while the MacKenzie-Childs headquarters is known for its whimsical and colorful ceramics and home furnishings (tours and shopping available).

For those looking to explore the great outdoors, Aurora's location on Cayuga Lake provides ample opportunities for water-based activities, including kayaking, boating, and fishing. The village's lakefront is also ideal for a stroll and boasts lovely views of the water and surrounding countryside. Fancy making a weekend out of your visit? The luxurious Inns of Aurora, a collection of historic homes transformed into a premier lodging experience, is an ideal choice for a memorable Finger Lakes retreat.

The Final Word

Its enchanting blend of natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture makes the Finger Lakes of New York State a must-visit for any traveler visiting the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. From the awe-inspiring gorges of Watkins Glen to the charming lakeside setting of Aurora, as well as the historical significance of Corning and Geneva, with stops at some wineries in Hammondsport and Naples along the way, these six most charming small towns to visit in the Finger Lakes provide a fascinating look into one of the country’s most scenic regions.

Additionally, Buttermilk Falls State Park is an 811-acre state park located southwest of Ithaca, close to many of the other waterfalls and parks mentioned on this list. Luckily, the Upper New York area is closely connected, meaning less of a drive for tourists wanting to experience everything.
