Finger Lakes
Upstate New York waters
Finger Lakes refers to a group of eleven long, narrow lakes in central New York State, so named because they resemble fingers extending southward.
The region is known for its wine production, scenic gorges, and tourism: We spent a week touring the Finger Lakes.
The term often refers to the surrounding wine region as much as the lakes themselves.
