Persons, Places, and Things of the Finger Lakes Region: the Heart of New York State provides an overview of the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, an area of scenic, lake-country beauty that is rich in history. The region provides outstanding vacation opportunities spread over 14 counties and 9,000 square miles. Highlighted are the six major Finger Lakes: Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca, Cayuga, Owasco, and Skaneateles, and the five minor Finger Lakes: Conesus, Hemlock, Canadice and Honeoye in the West, and Otisco in the East, as well as Rochester, and the region’s western gateway; Syracuse, the eastern gateway; and Corning and Elmira, the southern gateways.
The book also showcases the areas surrounding the six major lakes: east of the lakes and the beautiful countryside around Cortland and Homer, south of the lakes with its glider soaring sites and the scenic Chemung and Susquehanna River valleys, west of the lakes including Letchworth State Park, and north of the lakes along the Erie Canal and Lake Ontario. The book is an introduction to the Finger Lakes Region for those who are not familiar with it and a collective reference for those who are.
