The majority of Livingston, Ontario, and Yates Counties make up the bulk of the western Finger Lakes, which for our purposes extends north to the Monroe County line and the New York State Thruway. In the east and the land between Keuka and Seneca lakes separates west from east. To the south and the part of Steuben County north of I-86 is also included in this region.

The western Finger Lakes are strongly associated with Rochester, which lies north of the four smallest lakes, near Lake Ontario—in fact, Hemlock and Canadice Lakes provide much of Rochester's water supply. Within the region, Canandaigua is the largest population center and the conceptual capital of the area.

Travel as a Muslim to Western Finger Lakes

By car

Three major Interstate highways serve this part of the Finger Lakes. Interstate 90 and the New York State Thruway, is a popular toll road that travels between Albany and Buffalo, passing just north of the Finger Lakes and just south of Rochester. Interstate 390 runs south from Rochester and passes just west of Conesus Lake on its way to I-86 and the Southern Tier. I-86 is the Southern Tier Expressway; it connects the Erie|Erie, Pennsylvania area to the New York City area, passing just to the south of Keuka Lake.

A number of well-maintained state routes traverse the rest of the region, mostly in north-south directions due to the direction of the glacial valleys. Take I-86, I-90, or U.S. 20 east-west first and then turn off onto the appropriate north-south route.
