Skaneateles Lake is one of the Finger Lakes in central New York. A nickname for the lake is The Roof Garden of the Lakes because it is higher in altitude than the other Finger Lakes surrounding it. The village sits perched at the northernmost point of the lake. Biking and boating are two of the top activities at the lake. A 32-mile road loop runs along the banks of the lake.

Outdoor Activities

Carpenter Falls & Bahar Preserve

This mile-long loop trail is a fan favorite among local hikers and visitors. It's moderate in level, meaning you'll get a decent workout but you don't have to be an experienced hiker to have fun. The main draws of the trail are the three waterfalls that you pass along the way.

Skaneateles Boat Tours

Mid-Lake navigation runs sightseeing tours on the lake and offers visitors sweeping views of the lake, as well as the Erie Canal.
