Watkins Glen, NY

Travel Guide

Watkins Glen state park
Honestly such a bucket list spot. So glad we did the drive + stayed in the finger lakes.
What a spot! Get there early as it was packed mid afternoon
The Finger Lakes is like stepping into a Tolkien-esque land, all for a hiker’s gaze.

Less than 2 hours from home. Just far enough for a 24 hour parent only get away.

Great place to get outdoors and get some hiking in. Cute downtown with a variety of shops. Plenty of local wineries in the region and Finger Lakes Distilling make for an enjoyable afternoon stop with beautiful views of Seneca Lake.
