Located in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, Watkins Glen is a centrally located area for touring. The Finger Lakes area is famous for its natural beauty (gorges and waterfalls), award-winning wineries, and great museums.
The town of Watkins Glen is located on the southern tip of Seneca Lake, the largest and the deepest of the Finger Lakes. Grand Prix auto racing was once held on the downtown streets and hills.
The Watkins Glen State Park gorge trail is a short to moderate hike through one of the prettiest gorges in the east, and you will not want to miss it. You will be in awe of the rock formations water has created and walk under one of the many waterfalls on the trail. An optional side trip to Ithaca will include more gorges and waterfalls, including the highest waterfall east of the Rockies.
Letchworth State Park, the Grand Canyon of the East, is another possible day trip. Drive along the gorge, stopping at numerous overlooks along the way.
The Finger Lakes climate is very conducive for the growing of grapes. Estate wineries dot the landscape. We have arranged for small tour buses to take you to five of our local wineries, all located on the shores of Seneca Lake. Included will be lunch overlooking the lake and vineyards. If wine is your thing, you may want to visit additional wineries on you own -- we can suggest our favorites.
The Corning Museum of Glass is the world's most comprehensive collection of all types of glass. You can watch glass makers and even make your own glass. An exciting new wing has been added. This is a great museum. Also in Corning is the Rockwell Museum of Art. The Glenn Curtiss Transportation Museum in Hammondsport (a quaint little town to explore at the south end of Keuka Lake) is another museum not to be missed. Curtiss was the first to put a motor on a bicycle and live to tell about it. He almost beat the Wright brothers as the first to fly. Also, check out the first "fifth-wheel" here. The National Soaring Museum in Big Flats offers glider rides.
