Getting Outdoors

Wide enough that the far side of shore is a thin slice of green bisecting the horizon, the lake’s waters are governed by the weather. On calm, sunny days, the surface is equally tranquil, broken only by a faint splash as a fisherman casts his fly into the water. Stormy days, too, influence the lake. Sailboats fly by on blustery days, slowed only by choppy waves that act as nonstop speedbumps. In autumn, the low hills covered by maple, oak, aspen, and willow trees, transform into a fiery blaze that’s rivaled only by a bonfire, then they fade to a subdued sienna. In late fall, when the cold weather descends upon central New York, the leaves crumble and disappear underfoot.

Camping at Cayuga Lake

Though the area is somewhat rural, it’s advised that you secure an RV camping near Cayuga Lake because many of the roads are narrow and lack a safe place to pull over for the night. Between a handful of state park RV campgrounds and private camping sites, there are plenty of options in the area.

Exploring the Area

Hop into a rental motorhome and hit the Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway. Encircling the entire lake, the route passes through dozens of charming towns lined by homes and buildings that date back to the 19th century. Explore the quaint cafes, boutique stores, and restaurants along the way.
