Many people hear about the Finger Lakes and think they might want to come and visit, but have absolutely no idea why they would want to come here and if they did come, would there even be anything to do. Believe it or not even people from Rochester think there is not much activity only 40 minutes from their own doorstep. So beyond the event calendar link provided on this website, let me fill you in on some of the many activities available to while away your time on your visit to the Finger Lakes.
