Written Directions

Start your route in the town of Horseheads, NY and simply take Route 14 up to Watkins Glenn, NY ... 15 miles one way. Turn around and head back to make it a nice 30 mile roundtrip.

Scenery

Along this lovely little route I traveled the other day, there are many interesting sights to see. Some of these include rivers and marshy areas, waterfalls, a large lake (Seneca Lake), steep rocky cliffs and if you are lucky some wildlife ... I saw some deer Photo contributed by visitor in Jun 09 - "Wagner winery and their Ginny Lee Cafe."

Drive Enjoyment

The path has many twists and turns and only an occasional rough spot. Unfortunately there is some road construction right now (Jul 05) so that is a minus. Over all I greatly enjoyed my ride and think that you will to if you give this one a try.

Tourism Opportunities

This route lies on the way to Watkins Glen State Park. You can fish, swim at the park, camp, and boat if you are with a party that has access to one. Also several restaurants dot the way and once in Watkins Glen you can go to the racetrack.

Heading north on #14 from Horseheads, keep to the speed limit especially in Pine Valley and in Millport (30mph). Midway through the town of Watkins Glen, as a detour, make a right on #414 to Wagner Winery and have lunch at the Ginny Lee Cafe. That ride takes about 20 minutes from WG to Wagner winery. They have wine tasting and a good selection of Beers.

The ride up over the hill between Watkins Glen and Ithaca on route 79 is quite interesting too. You could make a loop out of it by taking route 13 back to Horseheads.
