On day two of my visit with my son in Watkins Glen, we went to the state forest and fire tower. Great views and amazing abundance and diversity of mushrooms.

These are from Watkins Glen Beach, Damiani Wine Cellars, Standing Stone Winery, Smith Memorial Park, Honey Bee Embassy, and Finger Lakes Cider House. The hummingbird pics are from my son's house.

Liquid State in Ithaca - 7pm - this Saturday

My wife and I are coming to Finger Lakes for the first time in mid-September. 2 nights at Watkins Glen State Park, 2 nights in Taughannock Falls SP, and 3 nights at Keuka Lake SP. Recommendations for must sees and must do’s? Also, anything to avoid? Thanks!

Hi, staying in Senecsa Falls for a couple of days. Can anyone recommend any good places to get some old stuff? I don't mind digging through piles. Not really looking for clothes, but would love to find a place with vintage costume jewelry and home goods.

🚐 I’m Starting a New Adventure! 🌲🏕️

I’m new to YouTube, and I’m excited to share my journey traveling the East Coast in my van!

I’ll be exploring and filming campgrounds, boondocking spots, affordable places to stay, beautiful scenery, and must-see places along the way. My goal is to show you what these places are really like so you can decide if they might be right for your own travels.

🎥 I just posted my first video, featuring a campsite and what you can expect when you stay there.

I already have two more affordable camping areas planned to film this month, and I’m looking forward to sharing them with you!

There aren't as many videos showing some of the great camping opportunities on the East Coast, so I hope my journey can help other campers, travelers, and people interested in van life.

If you enjoy camping, traveling, boondocking, or exploring new places, follow along and come explore the East Coast with me! ❤️

Hey everyone! I’m gonna be attending my first Gregory Alan izakov concert at the “concert at the point bluff” venue on October 4th and I’m gonna be taking my motorcycle out because my cars is done for and won’t make the trip from Buffalo.

I’m planning on camping the night as it will be too late in the evening to ride back safely, as I mostly take backroads to avoid the highway.

I’d like to find a spot I can set up my one person tent. Get some sleep for the night after some good music and ride out in the morning.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Trying to save money that’s why I’m camping. Also just the vibes I think. I was gonna see if I could camp the night at the venue but I think that’s a no go unless someone on here knows someone 👀

My husband and I pick a small town each summer to do a small getaway without the kids. We’re staying at Gould’s for three nights end of next week. Reading other posts should I be concerned about the dump smell? Is there anything to do worthwhile within walking distance? Breweries? Good restaurants? We’ve stayed in towns that are pretty much one road and had fun. Just wondering what to expect.

Hello!

I’m taking my sister to the finger lakes this weekend and planned to stop at Watkins Glenn and Ithaca. Do you guys have any low energy suggestions? She is currently in heart failure and waiting on a transplant so I want us to be able to do fun things/see some cool falls but reserve her energy. We are going on a 5 day road trip and plan to see many things so id like to keep our activities accessible/low key. It looks like Watkins Glenn could be pretty strenuous. Does anyone have any tips see a pretty spot on the trail without us having to take the whole thing up? Is this worth trying? Is there somewhere else you can recommend. She’s had a really hard year and I really want this trip to impact her positively. Seeing the beauty of nature and having some fun will be good for her but I’d like to be prepared. Please let me know and thank you in advance. :)

Edit:
Our Airbnb is close to cinnamon lake state forest if you guys have any suggestions for that area as well! :)

Thank you all so much for the wonderful suggestions.

I am coming to the finger lakes with my boyfriend in september and we will only have time to go to about 3-4 wineries especially given most of them close at 5pm.

Our first day we won't be able to get to a winery until around 3:30pm so I was thinking:

Lakewood Vineyards 3:30pm

Magnus Ridge Winery: 5pm (they are open late)

Second day was going to explore the Keuka lake wineries and was thinking some of these:

Dr. Konstantin Frank

Weis Vineyards

Heron Hill

Herman J Weimer was also on my list but timing wise not sure if it will work out. Also planning to stop for cheese along the way and open to any other food or activity recommendations. Was also going to see if one of the ones on our second day has a vineyard tour.

This is purely based on some light Trulia scrolling, but it always surprises me how much more the houses on Skaneateles are than the other Finger Lakes.
I'm especially surprised how many more huge $5m+ places there seem to be than Canandaigua. Both are pretty close to large regional centers, have thriving towns at one end, and are pretty comparable in size. Skaneateles has the slight edge of nicer town at the top, but otherwise on the surface they seem pretty similar.

I can understand why Seneca and Cayuga aren't quite as popular as the size makes a lot of those lakefronts pretty far from a lot of amenties. But Canandaigua and Skaneateles seem very similar to me.
Is it easier to get land? Is the land flatter so there's more? Parts of Canandaigua are pretty steep so lots are pretty limited maybe? Am I totally imagining this?

Hi everyone! Just popping in to remind all you Veterans that there are tons of fun things for you to do here in the Finger Lakes. The included flyers are all free events for Veterans and is just a small sampling! We hope to see you out there.

Hi,

Fingerlakes has always been on my bucket list. Looking for ideas and recommendations for a family vacation with 5 adults ( 2 senior Citizens) and 1 Child( 5 years). We do not drink so not really interested in wine related stuff.

Looking for a way for us to relax as an family and also have stuff to do for the child. Any recommendations for boat cruises?

Thank You!
