Finger lAkeS region
Finger Lakes Region
The Finger Lakes are gorgeous! A water-lover’s utopia, with
lakes, cascading waterfalls, rivers and creeks, all carved thousands of years ago by
ice-age glaciers. Oh yeah, all of this makes for some of the best wine-growing areas in
the world! New to the region is the addition of popular rustic cabins at select parks.
WATKINS GLEN STATE PARK
Watkins Glen State Park is the oldest and most famous of the Finger Lakes State
Parks, with a reputation for leaving visitors spellbound. Glen Creek has poured down
the glacially-steepened valley side for 12,000 years leaving 19 glistening waterfalls
and cascades, some of which visitors walk behind on the gorge trail. The park boasts
beautiful wooded campsites with one loop offering 54 electric sites and three have
playgrounds. Enjoy a dip in the Olympic-sized pool. The nearby lakes and creeks are
ideal for fishing and renowned for the annual spring run of rainbow trout. Hikers can
walk along the winding paths of the gorge, or explore the nearby Catharine Valley
Trail by bicycle.
