Scenic Drives & Vistas

The Finger Lakes region is home to some of the most incredible scenic driving routes and byways in New York State. Travel through rolling hills and loop around pristine lakes, stopping along the way to take in the picturesque views of sun-kissed vineyards, lush hillsides, the magical Finger Lakes, and even the Rochester skyline.  If you are a photographer or an artist, look no further for the most amazing backdrops imaginable!  You will quickly understand why Native Americans called Canandaigua ‘the chosen spot.’

A year-round destination, the Finger Lakes offer colorful fall foliage in autumn, pristine snow-covered mountains in winter, and rolling farmlands and sparkling lakes in every season. Enjoy the natural beauty or let the road lead you to one of the vibrant towns and villages where world-class dining, history, and culture await.
