The Most Amazing Finger Lakes Fall Foliage
During the autumn months in this area it’s hard to not notice the vibrant colors of the Finger Lakes fall foliage all around us. Thankfully, there are some particular viewpoints and state parks near our Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast that are ideal for leaf-gazing.
Here are six places for taking in the best views of the Finger Lakes fall foliage:
- Taughannock Falls State Park: Just a few minutes from our Inn, you’ll find some of the best outlooks and vistas to take in the Finger Lakes fall foliage in all its glory. This state park is also home to hundreds (yes, hundreds!) of waterfalls. You’ll find some of the most amazing vistas along the hiking trails, so take your time to explore and admire these amazing colors.
- Finger Lakes National Forest: This forest encompasses 16,000 acres of wilderness with trails for hiking, biking, and more. On the quick scenic drive here you’ll see some lovely Finger Lakes fall foliage, which will only be the beginning as the forest itself comes alive with bright colors in mid-October.
- Watkin’s Glen State Park: About a half hour from our Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast is this natural wonder with unique waterfalls, rock formations, and wooded areas. The beautiful hues of fall set the perfect backdrop for viewing these amazing cliffs with cascading waters.
- Robert H. Treman State Park: You’ll find a spectacular gorge area here with trails and scenic vistas. The popular Enfield Glen gorge winds through an unusual landscape and past 12 waterfalls. You can’t help but enjoy the Finger Lakes fall foliage here as well.
- Letchworth State Park: This park is a bit of a road trip from our Finger Lakes Bed and Breakfast, but along the ride you’ll take in the golden hues. Letchworth took top honors a few years ago, as it was voted as the reader’s choice “Best State Park in the United States” by the USA Today.
- Scenic Drive Routes: We’re lucky that this beautiful fall foliage is all around us, but the contrast of the bright blue of the surrounding lakes and hills awash with color is quite the scene. There are amazing drives along the shores of Cayuga and Seneca Lakes, and you should plan to stop off at one of our Finger Lakes wineries for a tasting.
