Canandaigua Lake is the fourth
largest of the Finger Lakes, in the U.S. state of New York. It is called the
"Chosen Spot" in the one of the languages of the Iroquois. The city of
Canandaigua is located at the northern shore of the lake and the village of
Naples is just a few miles south of the southern end.
There's so much to do in
Canandaigua.
Canandaigua
Lake is 15 1/2 miles (25 km) long, 1 1/2 miles (2.4 km) wide, and has a shore
line of about 36 miles (58 km).
Near the northern end of the lake is Squaw
Island.
About fifty percent of the surrounding land is rolling fields or,
forest, and most of the remainder is occupied by family farms. Canandaigua Lake is a prime destination for tourist visiting the
Finger Lakes region of upstate New York.
The lake is really beautiful in
the summer time. And, there is so much to do. You can go fishing, ride a paddle
boat, go site seeing, enjoy plenty of restaurants for dining. Or, just sit on
one the many park benches along Lakeshore Drive and watch the sun set over the
clean clear water of Canandaigua Lake.
Like to go shopping? Downtown Canandaigua has a fabulous
street of shops where you can stroll and browse until your hearts content.
Canandaigua Lake State Marine Park is located in the City of Canandaigua on the
north end. It offers a boat launch for powerboats and fishing access from May to
mid-October.
The lake has the distinction of having the second most
expensive lakefront property values in the country, second only to Lake Tahoe in
California. The lakeshore is dotted with sprawling waterfront estates and quaint
cottages, and in the summer becomes a vacation spot for many affluent
Rochesterians. With the average lakefront home price hovering near $1,000,000
homes rarely remain on the market for longer than a month.
The lake's
convenient location only forty miles away from Rochester, New York makes it easy
for the families of prominent lawyers, doctors, and businessmen to enjoy the
pleasures of this beautiful body of water. The summer season lasts from Memorial
Day through to Labor Day.
