Location

The eleven Finger Lakes are long, slender, glacially-formed bodies of water nestled in the green, rolling hills of western New York State. This region is already world-reknowned for its wine, but is growing in appreciation even more as each person who visits falls in love with the beauty, serenity, and character of the area, to which nothing can be compared.

Keuka (pronounced KYOO-kah) Lake is about 20 miles long and 187 feet deep at its deepest point. It is perhaps the Finger Lake that stands out the most, as it is Y-shaped with a scenic bluff that rises over 700 feet above the water level. This originality allows for some of the most spectacular views you will find in the whole Finger Lakes region.

Wigwam Keuka Lake Campground is on the bluff, on what is probably the most well-known hillside surrounding Keuka Lake. It boasts the popular Esperanza view of the bright blue water, green farms and vineyards, and the "USA" field that will make you proud to be an American everytime you see it.

On closer view of Keuka, whether it be lake swimming nearby or in a fishing boat, you will notice the crystal clear water that is characteristic of the Finger Lakes, Keuka being one of the cleanest. The water is used as the public water supply for Hammondsport, Branchport, Penn Yan, and Keuka College.
