NY Finger Lakes suggestions
Hi All, I'm planning a trip to the Finger Lakes area for a week in July with my wife and 11 yo daughter. We'll be in our 30' motor home with car in tow. We plan to stay at Watkins Glen State Park ...

Just got back from a really nice weekend in the Finger Lakes. I do Columbus Day weekend every year. The leaves were at their peak and the weather was perfect.
I base camped at Hickory Hill RV Resort in Bath, NY. Lots for the daughter to do. And the wife may enjoy what the spa has to offer. You can check the link to see what they offer.
Hickory Hill is 8 miles south of the base of Keuka Lake, the second biggest Finger lake. The town of Hammondsport sits at the base of the lake. There are several nice restaurants/bars in the town, the Union Block Italian and the Snug Harbor Restaurant amoung them. There are several wineries along the trail, but the two I really enjoy are Heron Hill and Bully Hill.
Bath is about 35 miles from Watkins Glen NY.. I highly recommend that you hike the gorge trail in Watkins Glen State Park. Hint: Pay the 3 bucks and let the shuttle take you to the top of the trail. Gravity is your friend.
From there you can hit the Seneca Lake wine trail. If you have time you can have cocktail or dinner at the historic Seneca Lodge. It was built in 1947 and was a mainstay for race car drivers and crews when they ran the Grand Prix races in the streets of Watkins Glen
