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.

Fantastic Cabin. Clean, warm, comfortable and a great view of the lake. Loved seeing Rocky the chocolate lab every morning to start our day. The food and service at the Bistro was also amazing. Best tomato bisque I've ever had. We will be back.

We stayed at the top of the hill in a king suite with an in-room jetted tub, which was a real treat. Breakfast was prepared right on time each morning ...

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.
