Explore Seneca
In the heart of Finger Lakes wine country and close to the breathtaking Ithaca gorges, the town of Seneca lies on the shores of Seneca Lake. Visitors come here every fall from all over the country to see the leaves turn spectacular shades of orange and red. Seneca is also a popular spot during the spring and summer when the rolling vineyards turn green and the forest trails bloom with wildflowers. In the winter, the snowy trails here are perfect for cross country skiing.
The best way to experience Seneca Lake is by staying a vacation rental where you can relax and plan the day's adventures at your own pace. A downtown condo or lakeside cabin offers the space you need to store your outdoor gear and amenities like a gourmet kitchen and living room. Condo rentals in this area are also often less expensive and closer to your favorite activities than hotels.
Here are a few additional suggestions:
-Take a wine country tour: Take a tour of scenic vineyard country and sample some of New York's legendary Rieslings and other white wines.
-Go horseback riding: Local stables offer guided trail rides along the lake shores and through the beautiful forest preserves and state parks.
-Go fly fishing: Launch a boat from the private dock of your vacation rental, or hike up the rivers and waterways to look for brown trout and rainbow trout.
-Go snowmobiling: In the wintertime, a snowmobile can be a thrilling way to tour the trails around the frozen lake.
-Take a balloon ride: Leave at sunrise to experience majestic, quiet views of the lake from above.
-Hike to a waterfall: There are endless beautiful hiking trails around Seneca Lake. Start with the trail to Watkins Glen Gorge and Buttermilk Falls.
Seneca Lake is the perfect destination for a romantic escape, a fun family vacation, or a long weekend getaway with friends, and a condo or luxury cabin can help you enjoy it all. Find a vacation rental that meets your needs, then relax, unwind, and start making fun memories.
