The Finger Lakes

The Finger Lakes · United States · Ithaca

Eleven long thin lakes carved by glaciers now ringed with wineries, waterfalls that tumble straight down into a gorge cut through the middle of a college town, and a pace of life that never got the memo about New York being just three hours away.

The best time to visit The Finger Lakes is Jun–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 26°C (79°F). Local time there is 03:24 (UTC-4).
