Things To Do
Ithaca is a hilly college town on the southern shore of Cayuga Lake, one of the larger Finger Lakes. In August/early September, the lakes are perfect for swimming, boating, kayaking, and great views! The city of Ithaca has 5-6 big waterfalls within city limits, including a swimming beach in a waterfall gorge. Many great hiking and nature trails are listed below - these are all places we loved to visit when we lived in Ithaca!
The Finger Lakes' unique geography makes it an ideal location for wineries, cider-making, and amazing vegetable farming and fruit orcharding. September is prime season for tomatoes and stone fruits! Below are some recommendations of our favorite wineries/cideries, farms, and other sights to see.
