As we head out from Watkins Glen the morning after our Wine Festival
visit, we notice a few hotels along the west shore of Seneca Lake.
Unfortunately, none of them provide docking facilities. |

Soon we approach Coal Point and Salt Point, where a salt mining
operation resides. Although we have yet to tour the mines, we
are told it is quite interesting - the salt veins run miles and miles
under the region. |

Here is a closer shot of the salt plant and the stack that is shown on
the Cruising Guide. |

Several small points are marked on the Cruising Guide that are not
recorded in this tour - none have public docking (Buttonwood, Fir
Tree, Rock Stream). These are two shots of a beautiful home we
spotted lakeside. |

The next large landmark we reach cruising up the west shore of Seneca
Lake is Glenora Point, just east of the
Glenora Wine Cellars, a
popular vineyard, hotel and restaurant (Veraisons).
Unfortunately there is no boat access to their establishment. We have
enjoyed two great concerts there by car, and have been to their
restaurant on several occasions. Sadly, most of the wineries on Cayuga
and Seneca Lake either do not have lake access or do not provide
shuttle access for boaters. |

The next landmark is
Brewer Point as we head north, and we decided to move in toward shore
to get a better look at some of the homes. |

Since we live on lakefront on Cayuga Lake, it's always interesting to
us to see what other people have done to access the lake. People
use lifts, ramps, docks, inlets, and a host of methods for getting
their craft on the lake. |

Here is a long shot of Baskin Point, the next piece of land that juts
into Seneca Lake as we cruise north along the west shore.

Seneca Lake is littered with little shore peninsulas like the next
one coming up the west shore - Miller Point looms into view in the
distance.

Severne Point is next on the point parade and this shot shows it
coming up ahead off the port bow. |

Severne Point has a boat launch for access to the west shore.
Mostly used by fisherman and smaller craft, but it is conveniently
located off Route 14 on Severne Road on the west side of Seneca Lake.

Rainbow Cove Motel is
a great little motel on the west shore of Seneca Lake with 200 foot
parallel dock. We stayed there on our first visit to Seneca Lake
in 2001 and had a wonderful time. They have a restaurant and
pleasant rooms with all the standard amenities. Note that in the
2003 NYS Canal Cruising Guide, the location is not marked. |
