Skaneateles, village in the town of Skaneateles, in Onondaga County, New York, United States
Skaneateles is a village in New York State located on the shore of Skaneateles Lake in the Finger Lakes region. The community spreads along the waterfront with historic buildings, shops, and restaurants that form the center of everyday life.
The village was founded in the 19th century as a trading post on the lake and became an important center for shipping and local trade. Many original structures from that era still shape the appearance of the place today.
The place is easy to explore on foot since most attractions are near the lakeshore. The best time to visit is summer when the weather is pleasant and more shops and restaurants are open.
The village is a popular starting point for water sports and boat tours on the clear lake. Many visitors use it as a base to explore other lakes in the Finger Lakes region.
