Cayuga Lake

Today we drove along the western side of Cayuga Lake. This is the second largest of the Finger Lakes, however, it is the longest at 40 miles. Seneca Lake is just 2 miles shorter. There are, of course, wineries along Cayuga Lake, but not nearly the number that are along Seneca Lake.

We drove state route 89 which is designated a “scenic byway”. Beautiful it was, but we did not feel it was more scenic than other highways along the lakeshores. It was a bit more hilly and with less wineries it had more corn fields and hardwood growth. The lake was not as visible, especially at the southern end, as Seneca Lake.

Cayuga Ridge Vineyards

We stopped at a couple wineries just to take photos. We didn’t do any tasting today. We did, however, stop at the Cayuga Lake Creamery for an ice cream break.

Thirsty Owl Vineyards

This ends our touring around in the Finger Lakes Region. It is certainly beautiful and we have enjoyed every minute of our time here.

Friday we leave for the Adirondacks near Lake Placid.
