Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway

With gorges at its south end, vineyards on its gentle slopes and marshes at its north end, the Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway features diverse landscapes and spectacular views. A tour around its 87 miles will take you through charming historic villages, by scenic waterfalls, parks and farmland, and to unique lodging, dining, shopping, wineries, college campuses, and more. Enjoy the ride on Cayuga Lake's Scenic Byway every season of the year. In 2024, the Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway won the National Scenic Byway Foundation’s (NSBF) Byway Enhancement Award for the Blueway Trail, a network of public boat launch sites with signs, kiosks, safe boating, and environmental information to foster appreciation for the lake’s 10,000-year-old glacially formed landscapes.
