After a slow start this morning trying to decide where we wanted to go next, we finally headed out about noon to go to the other finger lake: Seneca. We'd heard great things about Watkins Glenn State Park (south end of the lake) with it's gorges and waterfalls. As we don't expect to be back this way again we thought we might as well. The lake itself is over 600 feet deep (width can't be more than 3 miles) - guess we don't want to sink the boat here!
By the way, Seneca Falls was NOT the place "It's a Wonderful Life" was filmed. Upon further investigation, I found it was filmed on a lot in California! So now we are really curious about the Clarence Hotel's claim and will stop by when we backtrack through Seneca Falls on the way to the Erie Canal. The one couple we met that had dinner at the hotel said it was the hotel that claimed this. Interesting ....... Seneca Falls is, by the way, the birthplace of the Women's Rights Movement in the US - lots of info about the history of the meetings that took place.
Though one lock and 10 miles of canal/river to the north end of Seneca Lake. It was like glass - really amazing. We found a state park about 8 miles down the lake to stay for the night. As are all states, NY is hurting for money and the cutbacks can be found in the park system. Very tired marina but peaceful. Steve is contemplating the fish he can see ........
