Eastern Finger Lakes Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
About Eastern Finger Lakes
The eastern Finger Lakes encompass all of Tompkins County and parts of seven others: Ontario, Seneca, Yates, Schuyler, Cayuga, Onondaga, and Cortland Counties. The New York State Thruway constitutes the northern border of the region. In the west, the land between Seneca and Keuka Lakes separates east from west. The eastern lakes reach into the outermost suburbs ofSyracuse. The eastern Lakes are strongly associated with Syracuse, which lies just northeast of the two easternmost lakes—in fact, Skaneateles Lake provides much of Syracuse's water supply. Within the region, Geneva, Auburn, and Ithaca are the major population centers, and each one has a credible claim to being the area's cultural capital as well.
