Part of the Finger Lakes

Honeoye Lake is a part of the eleven Finger Lakes, some of New York's leading vacation spots. This body of water has an average depth of 16 feet and is 1,772 acres in size.

Honeoye Lake dwells amongst its neighbors Canandaigua Lake and Canadice Lake. Similar to the other Finger Lakes, this body of water is near Lake Ontario and Rochester, New York.

Outdoor Enjoyments

Kayaking, cycling, canoeing, fishing, birth watching, and a ton of fun activities are in demand on the peaceful Honeoye Lake.

Due to limited boat sizes, the waters are relaxing and calm, and there is an all-time abundance of scenic nature to enjoy. It is a perfect getaway from the more active waters on some of the other Finger Lakes.

Honeoye Lake Inlet Wildlife Management Area, just south of Honeoye Lake sits on 1,977 acres of land. This is an excellent area for locals to enjoy outdoor events such as hunting/trapping, hiking, fishing, and nature viewing.

Typically, Honeoye Lake frosts totally in the winter and leads to the perfect environment for snowmobiling, ice skating, and ice fishing.

A well-known activity for lake locals is to hike/walk the full loop around the lake. Depending on the speed, you can simply make it around the entire lake in a day.

Due to the soaring volume of tourism in this place, there are hundreds of outdoor activities, relaxation, fanfares, wineries, and exhibits for you to enjoy.

You can opt for a Finger Lakes Wine tour, drop by the Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Site, or have fun with the local events. This neighborhood has loads to do for all.

When Spring ends in March, Bristol Mountain holds a Spring Carnival Weekend enjoying winter's final hurrah. Some skiers greet Spring's start by engaging in events such as tubing, snow volleyball, and the slush cup.

Also, in March, guests can participate in Maple Weekend activities at one of the numerous maple farms in the entire Ontario County.
