New York’s Finger Lakes have shoreline to spare
Just found this great article about the Finger Lakes & want to share.

The Finger Lakes region of central New York is huge. Depending on who defines the borders, it spans 6,000 to 9,000 square miles — an area the size of New Jersey.
The region includes 11 namesake lakes, spread like the fingers on two hands. The lakes are a roughly parallel band from Conesus Lake, south of Rochester in the west, to Otisco Lake, near Syracuse in the east. Formed by retreating glaciers, the lakes are narrow, deep and up to 40 miles long, running north to south.
