In the romantic setting of the Finger Lakes, a picnic can be just what is needed during a day of wine tasting or site seeing. A picnic is a nice way to break up the day and get in touch with the region's beauty!
She-qua-ga Falls – It is a delightful surprise to drive down Main Street in the village of Montour Falls and have the She-qua-ga Falls come into view. The falls are 165 feet high and are illuminated at night. There is a tiny park with a table or two at the base of the falls, allowing for a picnic almost within arm's reach of the thundering water. Montour Falls is located South of Seneca Lake.
Montezuma Wetlands Complex - If you enjoy nature and birds, Montezuma Wetlands Complex is a great place for a picnic. The tables are near the edge of the big pond on a lawn under beautiful trees, with the observation platform and rest rooms close by. There are only 2 or 3 tables so it's private and a great place to enjoy the outdoors only 5 miles East of Seneca Falls off Rt. 5&20.
Watkins Glen State Park –You will find a wonderful site for a family or group picnic at Watkins Glen State Park. The site has a beautiful, large enclosed pavilion, much nicer than your typical picnic shelter, located in a lovely clearing in the woods. To get there, you take route 329 out of Watkins Glen to the intersection of Meads Hill Road, bear to your right, down the hill, and cross the landmark Stone Bridge. The entrance to the pavilion will be a left turn after crossing the Stone Bridge. Just as all picnic facilities in the state park, one would have to reserve the pavilion by contacting the New York State park authorities.
Lodi Point State Park - When the weather is right, it is hard to beat a picnic by the lake. Lodi Point State Park is a little park that most people aren't aware of, right on the East side of Seneca Lake. The park has plenty of picnic tables and the point has a nice beach. The location on the point means there is water to be seen. It's a cute little park, just off the wine trail so it's a nice spot to stop for a picnic (then get back to the wine!).
