The Native American legend states The Great Spirit placed his hands in the soil, but one finger slipped. That's why they were first referred to as the Finger Lakes. Now, they are primarily known as a wine destination for visitors.

I grew up in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. The closest one was Canandaigua Seneca Indian meaning "The Chosen Spot". I could drive 15 minutes to the next nearest one, Honyoye and The next closest one, Hemlock.

Player #3436490, It explains it very well above and looking on the map in this region looks like five fingers on a map. This is also known as wine tasting region.

LameArcheopteryx8068, We aren’t in upstate. That would be the Adirondacks. I dot know when they started calling everything north of NYC “upstate”, but, those of us who’ve lived here all our lives hate it!

MamaBear1448, yeah giants were supposed to have had 6 digits on each hand and I would guess that the view is even better from up above instead of seeing it from the ground

I lived in NY for a year and a half. While I disliked the weather in winter (we had to have a hot dip stick otherwise the oil in the car would thicken too much), the Finger Lakes region was really beautiful.

My college sweetheart was from Corning, and she took me to Seneca to ski late one summer! Reminded me of TVAs' Lake Norris above Knoxville!
