What to do and see in Finger Lakes, Finger Lakes: The Best Auto Race Tracks

November 9, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

New York’s Finger Lakes region takes its name from 11 freshwater lakes placed like a handprint between Lake Ontario and the Pennsylvania border. Skiing, hiking and biking trails traverse the landscape; visitors can also indulge in various wine, cheese and beer trails. The area offers a culinary bounty, with an emphasis on farm-to-table cuisine. Rich history and culture are found throughout the region, with one attraction more inviting than the next.

Watkins Glen International is a great track--it has lots of turns and elevation changes making the course challenging. Near by you have Lake Seneca and Watkins Glen Park with great hiking.
