Love this lake, some great houses 2 rent. Waterfalls galore!!

Okay, for starters the water is crystal clear! How have I lived in the Finger Lakes region and never knew this was here...?! This lake is literally breathtaking. From the boat launch, to downtown Skaneateles, to all of the beautiful houses along the lake, this is gorgeous! I dropped in at the boat launch with a friend, and we kayaked all the way up to downtown Skaneateles, hopped out, and had lunch downtown. The entire day was fantastic and this is a place I will always return to because it’s so relaxing. On the north side of the lake - there are some sand bars so you can hop out and go swimming if you’re on a boat. Or, in our case, we pulled our kayaks to the edge and hopped out and went swimming. Couldn’t have been more perfect! The water is so clear, you can see fish swimming and they’ll even swim up to your kayak. The whole experience was so fun.

Great lake very limited launches is the only issues I've had clean water nice scenery good fishing nice spot

Wonder why it took us so long to discover this beautiful lake and town. Lake is crystal clear! Town is full of shops and restaurants.

Skaneateles Lake is a true gem. One of the cleanest lakes in the US. Crystal clear water. Great fishing, boating, swimming. It's heaven.

Nice place on the Southside to do a bit of kayaking. The lake was a bit rough but the wave action was a good time.

Skeneatles is a beautiful place . The lake view is mesmerizing. The road gives you vintage vibes

This winery is part of Farm Fest & I had never been to a winery so, we went today. Gorgeous grounds, wonderful staff & the owner was so nice & informative. We were able to take a beautiful tour with the owner & learned how winery is made. From root to your belly! I thought it was very interesting!

This winery has an amazing view facing the Finger Lakes with a patio to sit, drink, eat and relax . It was my first time vising a vineyard, and I was impress, Beautifully manicured garden and a Relaxing Gazebo seating area to taste the local family owned wine. I had such a beautiful experience just walking through the grapevines and just tasting a few, from right off the vine.

The property and views are great. The sweet Riesling was my favorite, the reds I tried were pretty good.

Anyela's Vineyard is the gem of Vineyards in Skaneateles! It is also the only one I am aware of given the high cost of land in the area. This large vineyard offers some great views, a nice facility and the best reds I have ever had in New York State! All of the (4) reds I tried were amazing and unique. The whites were a hit a well and on par or better than most others in the region. We came at an off peak time of year, but we can see how this location would be packed during prime season. They have a jazz festival with attracts thousands of visitors each year. There is a specialty room (lower level accessed from outside) which is available for parties. Carter was our wine expert on our visit. From the area and knowledgeable not only about the winery but the lake and geography of the area as well. Who knew it is the finger lake at the highest elevation and boasts some of the cleanest water in the United States. He added interesting insight to our experience. We will return again! HINT: If you are looking for an excuse to visit the area (Summer concerts and live music along with a Charles Dickenson Christmas Carol events during the weekend (the later in town). The area is beautiful and somewhere worthy of checking out!

Love this winery! Great staff. Beautiful views.. amazing wine... thank you!!

Good service, nice flight sampler of white wine and beautiful space indoor and out. We were able to enjoy a stunning fall day on the patio overlooking the lake.

The wine is fantastic. Definitely taking a bottle with us. <Edit> Came back to get four more bottles of wine the next day. Well worth 45 minute trip out and back.

Carpenter Falls is a must-visit! The newly paved road and boardwalk to the observation deck are fantastic. If you're up for it, another 50 steps take you closer to the water, but the hike back up will challenge you. It's a quick trip, easily done in 30 minutes.

I will have to say that this a hidden gem. It has a boardwalk from the parking lot to a vantage point. So everyone can enjoy it. There are other trails for those seeking that route. One of the best waterfalls and place of Zen. I definitely suggest checking it out.

This is one of the most convenient scenic locations I've ever seen. There is a raised wooden walk way out through the woods that brings you to a very nice and safe viewing area of the falls. Off to the left there are stairs that go down to within a hundred feet or so the base of the falls. I traversed both the walkway and the stairs wearing casual dress shoes. Very safe. Very clean. Very relaxing views.

Nice easy walking on wooden boardwalk to see the falls. Very accessible for everyone ( at least to see the falls) The other surrounding trails are fairly easy, but with moderate stairs (150 steps we counted!) Great over all hike. There is a porter-john in the parking area.

There has been a big upgrade here! there is long wooden boardwalk that leads to the falls. Flat all the way, wheel chair could easily make the trip now, previously I would rate it most treacherous dirt path in the finger lakes to get to the falls. There are stairs to get closer look at the bottom. It is not far from parking and is probably one of the best waterfalls in the area, this area is going to be popular visit off hours like weekdays.

This is an absolute hidden treasure in Upstate NY. The falls walk is handicap accessible and a deck is built to get to it. However if you're feeling adventurous take an almost 2 mile walk in the preserve to the lake. Dress appropriately it's a nature trail close to the edge of a large drop off. Beautiful and serene. Well worth the trip.

Since NY State made upgrades to the trail system, this is beautiful! There is a fantastic boardwalk that leads to to very scenic overlook of Carpenter Falls!!

This is a wonderful place to stop. We are traveling in a class c rv and the distillery was easily accessible. Our hostess was very knowledgeable and friendly. The venue was attractive and would be a good place to hang out for a while. We were impressed by both the products and pricing. We left with a bottle of each of the things we tasted. Highly recommend.

I visited last weekend. The area has many wineries but I prefer spirits so I was happy to hear about this place. The lady at the bar knew everything about each product and was very happy to help. Great smile too 😊 Unfortunately, I couldn't bring more back to Canada on my motorcycle but I definitely recommend visiting. I will be back

We’ve been here twice and both times we have been so impressed with the service we received from Shannon. Her customer service is top notch!!! She’s extremely knowledgeable and personable. We brought home three bottles. Love their products! We’ll be back!

Not only are the products great, but so are the staff! I accidentally left a package in the store and Shannon went out of her way to send it to me on her own time and money. Thank you again Shannon!

Really nice selection of distilled spirits! The owner was really interesting and dedicated to his craft. We'll be back!

We stopped for a visit during our hike on the trail. We enjoyed the tour and the samples. The Maple spirits are very unique and would make a wonderful gift for the holidays. We only wish it was sold somewhere in Syracuse.

I've been buying the product Chris sells for a while now. I love all of it. His award winning Whiskey is absolutely great has a refined finish and a very smooth smokey taste to it. The white lightening is great for mixed drinks or if you like I add cinnamon sticks to mine and it's fantastic. Very impressed. I stopped by there about a week ago and took a look into the fact they are EXPANDING! It's so exciting they're going to have a brewery and a distillery connected I can't think of many of those and if the spirits are that good, I can't wait to taste the Beer. It hopefully will be open by August. They are always at the farmers market and are super friendly.

All I can say is wow! What beautiful things for sale by local artists, do yourself favor and visit!

Regional artists offering wonderful work, great space, unique and and well crafted gifts, worth a stop while in Skaneateles.

Very helpful, knowledgeable staff. Talented artists exhibited. New things to look at regularly!

A quaint and artsy store. Everything from beautiful jewelry to art and lhotogr

Great shop wonderful people would recommend anyone shop there

Fun place. Lots of useful and decorative arts.

Very nice place and the lady running it was awesome
