For those who are new to the blog, I grew up in the Elmira/Corning region near the Finger Lakes. I spent some time up at Seneca Lake, which is one of the 11 that make up the Finger Lakes. The Finger Lakes (FLX) is also known for many, many vineyards and breweries. Watkins Glen State Park often comes highly recommended. I can concur with that! Hiking through the gorges is absolutely stunning.
