Finger Lakes for Father's Day

What does dad really want for Father's Day? The same thing every parent wants ... great memories with their kids, no matter how old they are. There's no place like the Finger Lakes to create moments in time worth remembering. 

Celebrate your father or father figure by visiting some dad-focused landmarks on Father's Day Weekend:

Buy Your Dad a Drink: Have a toast to your dad and the positive attributes he's brought to your life at one of our many winery, brewery, cidery and distillery partners.

Take Him Fishing: The Finger Lakes region is home to 11 beautiful lakes teeming with a diverse population of fish species. Find the catch of the day in Geneva - Lake Trout Capitol of the World, in the deep waters of Cayuga Lake, or in the shallower bass-friendly inlets and outlets of Keuka, Conesus and Hemlock Lakes. Consult our Outdoor Guide for top fishing spots and plan the perfect trip.

Have a Great Meal: Nothing quite says "celebration" like a feast fit for a king. Find typical dude-food like BBQ, diner-style, American traditional, or find the exotic and down-right refined to ensure a custom element to a day just for dear, old dad. Search dining options.

Hike Bide and Paddle: Find activity or some rest and relaxation for dad at the 26 New York State Parks dotting the region, many are well suited for cookouts, hiking, biking, camping and paddling the kayak or canoe - perfect for some one-on-one time with dad.
