What is it that makes summertime in the Finger Lakes so special? It’s quite simple, really. Put on your suit and flip-flops and head to the dock. You can come to the lakes to get away from it all, or to get together with friends and family. Choose your watercraft. Catch your first fish or brag about the big one you caught or the bigger one that got away. Take countless photos of your little girl’s first swim or plunge off the dock. Splash! Adventure, excitement, games and discovery. Fool around and be king of the raft. Race with dad. Just watch and listen, everybody’s having a ball, wide smiles and infectious laughter. Sit on the dock with Dad, watch the wood duck family and the boats drift by. At the end of the day, relax and enjoy a campfire. Although we might recall one particularly magical summer in our lives, ultimately, it’s the collection of memories from many summers and across the generations that draws us back to the lakes and enriches our lives.
