Say hello to summer! Where the return of warm weather means lazy mornings lingering over a cup of coffee in the sun, long afternoons spent cruising the lake, sipping something cold (and local), and late nights spent dancing with good friends to great music. We call it #lakelife.
Lake life is the best of what summer has to offer; embarking on unplanned adventures with your best friends, and diving into the water headfirst - before you’ve even had breakfast. It’s not about packing your weekends with plans but letting the day take you where it will. You may end up at a mini-golf course, a neighborhood BBQ, a happy hour at a lakeside bar dancing to live music, or enjoying the biggest hot fudge sundae you’ve ever seen!
It’s easy to hop on a bike and ride through local trails during the summertime, or jump in the car and watch the sunset over backroads in the valleys. Walk a charming main street, kayak around one of our lakes or down the Genesee River. Local shops, funky farmers' markets, and people-watching hot spots beckon by midday, as nighttime gives way to farm-to-table dinners and drinks from local breweries. However you spend your time here, make it count.
It’s time to slow down and spend some time doing what really matters, creating the experiences and memories that bring us together and keep us laughing for years to come. Whether this is your first summer living lake life or your 60th, we’re glad to have you here.
