Watkins Glen State Park - Watkins Glen, NY

We drove from the most northern part of New York to the southern part.  First, along Lake Erie.  We took a little detour for our morning coffee on the lake.

It was a nice place, but unfortunately suffered from No'itis.  No wading, no swimming, no diving, no..no..no.  Anyway on to the finger lakes region.  First stop was a little wine tasting at Lamoreaux Landing.  It was on a hill overlooking Seneca Lake, and the wines were excellent.

Finally, we got to Watkins Glen State Park.  The campsite is at the top of the hill.  We were in site 50(E).  We walked to the Gorge Trail and hiked all 3 miles roundtrip of the trail.  Definitely worth the effort, but since the campsite was at the top of the hill, it was all downhill there and all uphill back.

 

It had rained for a few days prior to our visit, so the water was just rushing.  It turned out to be the highlight of the entire trip.
