This under-the-radar gem along Lake Ontario in New York is not only
rich in colonial-era history, but it's also pretty darn scenic, too. A
battlefield from the War of 1812 has been converted into a lakefront
park, while yacht clubs dotting the harbors to the south lend an almost
Riviera-like feel. Spend the day at Robert G. Wehle State Park, a
waterside retreat of pastures and hiking trails (315/938-5302).
Snakefoot Trail is the most popular, with stunning views from limestone
cliffs that tower some 80 feet high.
Where to Refuel: Tin Pan Galley's sunny outdoor patio makes a
great place to kick off the morning, with Mediterranean omelets and
French toast stuffed with cream cheese and topped with maple butter and
fresh strawberries. 110 W. Main St., 315/646-3812, breakfast entrees
from $5.
