Cayuga Lake is the longest of Central New York`s glacial Finger Lakes and second largest in volume. It is just under 39 miles long. Its average width is 1.7 miles, and it is 3.5 mi wide at its widest point, near Aurora. It is approximately 435 ft deep at its deepest point and has over 95 miles of shoreline. The lake is named after the indigenous Native American Cayuga people. The city of Ithaca, site of Ithaca College and Cornell University, is located at the southern end of Cayuga Lake. Its depth, with steep east and west sides and shallow north and south ends, is typical of the Finger Lakes, as they were carved by glaciers during the last ice age. Hosts the Cayuga Wine Trail.
