Seneca Lake Backroads & Brews Route Overview

Seneca Lake Backroads & Brews Route Overview

This tour is an approachable, multi-surface ride based alongside New York’s largest Finger Lake, Seneca Lake. The routes follow a mix of back roads, gravel roads, and rail trails near the Finger Lakes National Forest. We’ll spend all three nights at the Lodge at Grist Iron Brewing Co.

On the Seneca Lake Backroads & Brews tour you’ll experience the best of the Finger Lakes region — ride quiet back roads, farms, vineyards, take a sightseeing boat excursion on Seneca Lake, hike to incredible waterfalls, and cap off each day with a fantastic craft brew from Grist Iron.

The route is best suited to a gravel bike (a drop-bar bike with a tire width over 30mm), and is only for riders with intermediate to advanced bike handling skills who have experience on varied surfaces. Due to safety concerns, we do not allow e-bikes on this ride. Thanks for understanding!
