Finger Lakes, group of 11 long, narrow lakes, central New York State, lying generally parallel to each other in a northern-southern direction. The principal lakes, which range from 16 to 64 km (10 to 40 mi) in length and from about 2 to 5 km (about 1 to 3 mi) in width, are, from west to east, Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca, Cayuga, Owasco, and Skaneateles. Seneca Lake reaches depths of 180 m (600 ft). The lakes are situated in a region of forested rolling hills that is noted for its scenic beauty and vacation resorts such as Watkins Glen. On the sloping shores of the lake are grown fruits and vegetables, notably grapes for wine making.
