FInger Lakes Trivia:
•The New York State Finger Lakes were formed during the ice age when the glaciers carved the existing river valleys and produced the 11 Finger Lakes.
•From West to East, the Finger Lakes are named:
-- Conesus Lake - the westernmost Finger Lake
-- Hemlock Lake - one of the 2 lakes serving as source of drinking water for Rochester
-- Canadice Lake - smallest Finger Lake; 2nd lake as source of drinking water for Rochester
-- Honeoye Lake - second smallest Finger Lake and the warmest and most shallow lake
-- Canandaigua Lake - has won awards for best tasting drinking water in New York state
-- Keuka Lake - the “Y” shaped lake; we overnight at Keuka College on the north side of Keuka Lake
-- Seneca Lake - the largest (acres & volume) and deepest (618 ft) Finger Lake
- we overnight the 2nd & 3rd nights in Geneva on the northwest shore of the lake
-- Cayuga Lake - the longest (almost 39 miles long) and 2nd largest Finger Lake
-- Owasco Lake - the 1st overnight in Auburn is on the north end of Owasco Lake
-- Skaneateles Lake - one of cleanest lakes in the US; Syracuse uses it as one of its sources of
drinking water -- unfiltered, it’s so clean.
-- Otisco Lake - the easternmost Finger Lake
•This year we will cycle adjacent to at least portions of 5 Finger Lakes -- Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca, Cayuga & Owasco Lakes.
