Keuka Lake, with its unusual Y-shape, is 20 miles long, up to 2 miles wide, and boasts 60 miles of shoreline. With an elevation of 715 feet above sea level, it is almost 200 feet deep at it's deepest point. It has a scenic bluff rising over 700 feet above lake level between the two branches of the Y. Lakecrest Manor is located on the west side of the east branch of the Y on East Bluff Road, approximately 4 miles south of the village of Penn Yan.
Keuka Lake is known for its natural beauty. It is one of the cleanest of the finger lakes, and is an excellent sport fishing lake, featuring wild lake trout, bass, and land-locked salmon. In the Summer, the lake warms to the upper 70s and low 80s, making it perfect for swimming, tubing, waterskiing, or just floating peacefully in the water.
The Finger Lakes Wine Country is second only to California for the number of award winning wineries, with well over 50 wineries around Keuka, Seneca, and Cayuga Lakes. The hillsides surrounding Keuka Lake are dotted with numerous vineyards, and dozens of wineries are within a 30 mile radius of Lakecrest Manor.
For the shopper, the Finger Lakes region abounds with antiques, local arts and crafts, and Mennonite handcrafted furniture. The Windmill Flea Market just south of Penn Yan brings dozens of local vendors together every Saturday from late Spring until early Fall. Don't forget to visit the Waterloo Premium Outlet mall with over 100 premium outlet stores just a short drive away, and for the outdoorsmen, not far from Waterloo is the Finger Lakes Bass Pro Shop in Auburn. For a little excitement, try Finger Lakes Thouroughbred Racing and Gaming, just a few miles north of Canandaigua. Interested in the complete culinary experience? Check out the New York Wine and Culinary Center, also in Canandaigua.
