Skaneateles Lake

Just stop while driving back home . From the little time we spent walking the main street, I can just imagine how nice it is when all the shops are open. Definitely will have to make a weekend out of it.

Okay, for starters the water is crystal clear! How have I lived in the Finger Lakes region and never knew this was here...?! This lake is literally breathtaking. From the boat launch, to downtown Skaneateles, to all of the beautiful houses along the lake, this is gorgeous! I dropped in at the boat launch with a friend, and we kayaked all the way up to downtown Skaneateles, hopped out, and had lunch downtown. The entire day was fantastic and this is a place I will always return to because it’s so relaxing. On the north side of the lake - there are some sand bars so you can hop out and go swimming if you’re on a boat. Or, in our case, we pulled our kayaks to the edge and hopped out and went swimming. Couldn’t have been more perfect! The water is so clear, you can see fish swimming and they’ll even swim up to your kayak. The whole experience was so fun.

Love this lake, some great houses 2 rent. Waterfalls galore!!

Skaneateles Lake is a true gem. One of the cleanest lakes in the US. Crystal clear water. Great fishing, boating, swimming. It's heaven.

Wonder why it took us so long to discover this beautiful lake and town. Lake is crystal clear! Town is full of shops and restaurants.

Skeneatles is a beautiful place . The lake view is mesmerizing. The road gives you vintage vibes

Beautiful lake and surrounding area. Plenary of places to stay around the lake via AirBnB or Vrbo. Less than an hour from Ithaca and many falls are nearby with good trails for hiking.
