Finger Lakes Cycling Club
Cayuga Lake -- 92 or 100 miles

Touring Route Page

FLCC

 

Meet at Cass Park, the first parking area on the left north of the NY 89 bridge over the inlet. The ride will start the clockwise loop of the lake by going left (north) from the parking area.

In the past we took the most direct, main roads. Lately, we have been moving all our rides to more scenic side roads with less traffic, so we've included loops off the highway at many points and the last part of the south-bound leg --- from Aurora on --- follows the ridge down to Ludlowville rather than following the lake. The new cue sheet, below, is for this newer route.

The linked map (left) shows deviations from the old route in red. I've also made a couple of new PDF maps that show a bit more detail: Cayuga North -- Cayuga South. They're rather big files; sorry.

There is a large stone public building that's part of the state park. It's a good place to get water, have a snack. Then continue on the same road.
