Hiking in the Finger Lakes
Watkins Glen State Park is a beautiful canyon with waterfalls galore, and the hiking trails around Montour Falls are especially appealing to hikers. While you're there, be sure to check out the Queen Catherine Marsh and Havana Glen. The Interlaken Trail, a 12-mile marked trail that runs past two ponds and traverses varied terrain, is one of the trails to check out in the Finger Lakes National Forest.
Foliage Tour aka "Leaf Peeping"
Begin in Geneva and follow Seneca Lake along NY 14 South. Be prepared for some spectacular views between the lake on the left and trees to your right. Leisurely, continue toward Watkins Glen. There, you will discover a delightfully quaint Main street. End your adventure by perusing the pier, or mosey on over to Watkins Glen State Park. Find yourself up-close and personal with spectacular foliage as the Gorge Trail bobs and weaves against the magnificent falls. Approximate length: 36 Miles / 30 Minutes.
Geneva Public Art Trail
As you explore downtown Geneva watch for sculptures, murals and other outdoor artwork along the way. Whimsical and unique pieces are scattered across the City waiting to be discovered.
