Things to Do During Your Visit

Here are our top 10 things that we enjoy doing when we visit Keuka Lake.

1. Rent a boat or take a boat ride to the Switzerland Inn to have lunch on the porch and enjoy the great view of the Bluff!

2. Boat down to Hammondsport. Dock the boat and head into town for some shopping and an ice cream at the Park Inn!

3. Drive just north of Penn Yan on Sunday morning at 9:30 and watch all the horse-drawn Mennonite buggies going to church.

4. Have a wonderful dinner at the Village Tavern in Hammondsport.

5. Visit the many fine vineries on Keuka lake and take in the stunning views!

6. Have a cocktail on the patio at sunset at the Esperanza Mansion.

7. Go shopping in Penn Yan. Our favorite store is Longs Cards and Books.

8. Go to the Hayes Auction Barn for the weekly Saturday night auction at 6:00pm. Great finds include beautiful antiques to everything under the kitchen sink!

9. Order the fried chicken dinner at Seneca Farms in Penn Yan.

10. Have a bottle of wine in the middle of the lake at sunset!

11. Ok, so there are more than 10… Visit the Windmill Farm and Craft Market on Saturday mornings. A great place to get breakfast or lunch!
