Learn more about Watkins Glen

Descend into the magical realm of Watkins Glen State Park, where 19 waterfalls cascade over moss-covered rock walls like nature's own sculpture gallery. The Seneca Lake Wine Trail beckons with award-winning Rieslings and Cabernet Francs poured by vintners who speak of soil composition with poetic enthusiasm. Racing fans flock to Watkins Glen International, where the screech of tires and roar of engines has echoed since the days when Formula One graced these curves. After a day of hiking the gorge's stone pathways, retreat to Seneca Harbor where boats bob gently against the backdrop of rolling hills. Don't miss Hector Falls just outside town – a roadside spectacle that requires no admission fee, just a willingness to pull over and gawk.

Honestly such a bucket list spot. So glad we did the drive + stayed in the finger lakes.
