Wildlife Preserve on Keuka Lake
Take a scenic walk through the Townsend Grady Wildlife Preserve located at the corner of Townsend Road & Route 54A, Branchport, NY on Keuka Lake. This natural 16 acre protected wetland is part of the Saunders Finger Lakes Museum Campus and offers easy hiking trails, a 200 foot long boardwalk, a hand crafted post & beam octagonal gazebo, water views, and plentiful wildlife. Educational panels dot the trails to pause, read, and observe the flora and fauna. This is a hidden gem on Keuka Lake.
Cool Down with a Wine Slushie
Summer in New York's Finger Lakes is synonymous with vineyard views, lake breezes, and award-winning wines. One seasonal favorite has become a must-try for visitors and is a weekend favorite for our locals: the refreshing wine slushie.
Find these at Bully Hill Vineyards and Stever Hill Vineyards along the Keuka Lake Wine Trail and at Glenora Wine Cellars on Seneca Lake.
Having a cool refreshing wine craving? Read more here and make it a Wine Slushie day!
