Keuka Lake

Overview
Keuka Lake rivals Canandaigua and Skaneateles in terms of exclusivity.  In my opinion, it offers the most tranquil setting of the six main finger lakes.  Penn Yan is the largest town, but some other cities such as Geneva, Canandaigua, and Rochester are within a short drive.

Personal
During my college years I spent a summer working for a tile layer.  We did a big job right on Keuka Lake.  It was my first real exposure to the lake and it was easy to see what all the fuss was about.  The lake is simply beautiful.  Most recently, my sister-in-law held her wedding reception on Keuka Lake.
