Can You Say Skaneateles?

I think I found the BEST of the Finger Lakes. I arrived yesterday. 

Skaneateles has a vibrant downtown with cool stores, boutiques and galleries. The vibe is cosmopolitan and relaxed. There are over twenty restaurants in town.

I saw several vintage automobiles and many motorcycles. The place is full of visitors which is surprising for late-October. The lake is scenic and has pristine water. Most amazing of all are scores of gorgeous lake-side homes. Beautiful architecture.

I'll definitely come back to Skaneateles Lake, assuming I learn how to pronounce it. :-)

  1. Skaneateles Lake is beautiful. You took great photos. The autumnal tree is so pretty. On that last photo the lake reminds me of the Adriatic sea.

    1. The name is intimidating at first but once you master it, it's fun.

  7. Breathtakingly beautiful setting. I think I've got a good handle on how to pronounce that town's name. Much like in many parts of the US, Canada teems with many First Nations/Indigenous Peoples' words for place names and this has helped me to become decently adept at learning how to pronounce their lovely monikers.
