Seneca Lake, Finger Lakes New York

Remember this?


Our World Geography class on Tuesday viewed some aerial shots,
Seneca Lake
one of pictures was of the Finger Lakes.
I've included a snapshot of the southern point of Seneca Lake in the town of Watkins Glen, and
of Hector Falls and a hillside shot from one of the wineries on the East side of Seneca Lake.
Just for your information here are a few facts about the Finger Lakes
  1. 11 Lakes form the finger lakes
  2. there are 1,000 waterfalls
  3. and 100 wineries
Watkins Glen state park is known for its beautiful
geography, with its waterfalls and rock formations,
along with the race track

Hector Falls







Here are a few facts about Seneca Lake.
  1. 38 miles long
  2. 3 miles wide
  3. 630 feet deep
You don't want to miss a tasting at one of the many wineries along the Seneca Lake.
The water mass and well drained hillsides are perfect for growing wine grapes.

Hope this entices you to check it out for yourself
