Locally-sourced farms stands, rustic wineries, award-winning craft beverage producers, excellent off-the-beaten-path dining options, history museums, nature trails and exciting adventures, Rustic & Wild introduces you to a whole other side of the Finger Lakes.

Immerse yourself on extended hikes along the nearly 1,000 miles of wilderness footpaths that make up the Finger Lakes.

Two really magnificent places to hike are Letchworth State Park and Stony Brook State Park. Letchworth, also known as the “Grand Canyon of the East,” was named one of the best state parks in the United States. With stunning gorges and beautiful waterfalls, this park is a beauty.

If you're craving something a little more off the beaten path, you should visit Stony Brook State Park. This wooded park boasts a babbling stream and you guessed it, a stunning waterfall. The peacefulness speaks for itself.
