Ithaca sits at the southernmost end of Cayuga Lake, which is the longest of the 11 Finger Lakes at 40 miles. Views of the lake’s brilliant blue waters can be seen as you head into the hills above the lake, with an excellent viewpoint near Ithaca College off of Route 96B. Cornell University offers stunning views from its highest towers that allow you to look out over Cayuga Lake and admire its blue waters and sheer length. 

Since Ithaca lies in the Finger Lakes region, on the shores of Cayuga Lake, the forests, waterfalls and hiking trails are all easily accessible. There are over 100 waterfalls within an hour of downtown Ithaca, so finding that perfect nature shot for your trip should be a snap! 

The most notable waterfalls are located in the three nearby state parks and are fairly easy to get to. Taughannock Falls is located in Taughannock  Falls State Park and has a 215-foot drop, which is higher than the majestic Niagara Falls! Robert Treman State Park is home to Lucifer Falls, a 115-foot waterfall that is the main attraction of this park and worth the trip. Last but not least it’s worth completing the hat trick and visiting Ithaca Falls which is an easy trip from anywhere in the city. Beautiful views can be seen from  Lake Street bridge as you stand and marvel at the water cascading down the 150-foot long creekbed.

If you are a wine enthusiast, Ithaca and the Finger Lakes region have you covered. The Finger Lakes region is home to over 100 Finger Lakes wineries, breweries, and distilleries. These producers are centered around Keuka, Cayuga and Seneca Lakes and are part of the Finger Lakes Wine Country. Many of these companies are members of wine and beer trails that host year-round wine, beer and food weekend events throughout the region.

Finger Lakes Wine Country is a world-class wine manufacturing area that specializes in the creation of aromatic white wines like Riesling and Gewurztraminer. The region has also had newfound success with the introduction of cool-climate red wines like Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. The region is successful when it comes to wine production because of the microclimate in the region created by the lakes themselves. The extreme winters typical of the New York region is avoided and warm summer days ripen the grapes to perfection. The Finger Lakes act as a self-regulating climate controller because of the steady water temperature, which in turn prevents any significant swings in climate through the growing season and helps to extend the season by several months.  To book a charter bus for wine tasting, submit your request on our Charters page and we’ll find the best deal for your group.
