Glacial Beauty
Why are the Finger Lakes so “gorges?” During the Pleistocene Ice Age over two million years ago, large glaciers moving south from Canada dramatically changed the landscape of the region. Deep trenches were carved into the earth, resulting in the lakes and spellbinding rock formations that are so characteristic of the area.
Watkins Glen State Park features a two-mile trail through vast and breathtaking gorges. This local treasure is truly a place of natural wonder with 19 waterfalls and gorgeous scenery that will be enjoyed by all.
A Taste of the Finger Lakes
The Finger Lakes region of New York is home to a unique and rich wine country, attracting visitors from all over the world to its renowned wineries. Seneca Lake is host to over thirty-five such wineries and thousands of acres of picturesque vineyards.

Race and Speed at "The Glen"

Watkins Glen’s famous motor-racing history started in 1948 when it hosted the first post-World War II road race.
