We chose Conesus lake because it was close to home. It also had a reputation for great fishing and great people. It's a small town. In fact, it's one lake that spans through several towns. When you are at the lake it really is easy to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You will find a great Italian restaurant (Fratelli's), a general store filled with antiques (Shoreless Acres), a bar/restaurant with live music for adults and ice cream for kids - accessible by boat or car (Beachcomber), and a fun place for kids with go-carting, miniature golf, batting cages, and a fun zone (Minnehan's). Of course, for those days when you just have to have a Wal-Mart or a Wegmans, Geneseo is just 15 minutes away.
