A day hike is a good way to take in the crisp air and vibrant colors of fall in the Finger Lakes. Most of the lakes have parks near their shores; one of the most scenic—and popular—is Watkins Glen State Park (nysparks.state.ny.us). The path along the gorge takes visitors past a stream that gradually tumbles four hundred feet, generating nineteen waterfalls along the way. A more secluded hike can be found fifteen minutes up the road at Finger Lakes National Forest (fs.fed.us/ r9/gmfl). This sixteen-thousand-acre preserve situated on a ridge between the Seneca and Cayuga Lakes has more than thirty miles of hiking trails, traversing a variety of woodland environments scored by gorges and ravines.
