Seneca Lake Scenic Byway (NY-414)
New York State Route 414 runs 19 miles along the eastern shore of Seneca Lake — the largest of the Finger Lakes — from Watkins Glen north to Lodi, forming the official Seneca Lake Scenic Byway. The corridor passes through the heart of New York's wine country, bordered by more than 35 wineries and vineyards, with the lake visible through the vine rows to the west. Watkins Glen State Park anchors the southern terminus. The route pairs naturally with the western shore loop on NY-228 and NY-14 for a full lake circuit.
