When you visit Watkins Glen and Schuyler County, we'll treat you to ... WORLD CLASS WINES, PARKS, MOTOR RACING, LODGING, and FOOD ... with the twist of being located in a breathtakingly beautiful & scenic rural area.
Home to the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, Watkins Glen State Park, and the Watkins Glen International racetrack, here it’s the best of both worlds -- charming villages and towns with eclectic cities within a 30 minute drive.
Waterfalls chisel their way through the rolling hillsides, vines and orchards flourish, and Seneca Lake stretches beyond the horizon. Of the 342 square miles of land in the county, about 110 is public land – including the Finger Lakes National Forest, Catharine Valley (Rail) Trail, Sugar Hill, Connecticut Hill, and the Arnot Forest ... an amazing variety of hiking and biking opportunities!
Celebrate something for everyone ... wine tasting events year-round ... a cardboard boat regatta on Father's Day weekend ... the lakeside Italian-American Festival ... July 4th fireworks over Seneca Lake ... a NASCAR street festival in August ... and a reenactment of "racing through the streets" each September.
Campers can sit back & relax in tents, cabins, or RV's at sites that range from forested to lakeside. Or let us take care of you at a motel, inn, or bed & breakfast.
We welcome you with turn-of-the century hospitality, a tradition since the Watkins Glen area gained prominence as a summer resort with healing springs in the early 1900's.
