Food scene

My family has been coming here for years. The Sherwood Inn is a forever staple for both locals and visitors. Live music on Sundays from 4:00-7:00. Good food and the tavern is a wonderful place for a cozy lunch or dinner with beautiful views of the lake!

In the heart of the village! Small, trendy atmosphere with great "tapas" and artisan pizza menu. Wine and beer only! Stop at the Lakehouse Pub right next door for a night cap!

The local (and visitor) watering hole! Don't miss it and their amazing roast beef sandwiches if you're hungry! Outdoor seating on main street in the warmer months!

Blue Water and Blue Goose (the bar upfront) are both great places for a casual bar meal or with the family. Live music at the Blue Goose on Thursday evenings! Cool, casual vibe on the lake!

The only Mexican in town and done well! Great urban vibe and good for hanging at the bar or for a big group. Seating upstairs and down. If you're with a group, try sitting at one of the round tables in the front! Love the shrimp tacos!!

Great place to stop to load up the picnic basket or boat cooler! Conveniently located right across from Clift Park (and next to Good Eats and the village liquor store).

I'm here for the green smoothie at least twice a week! Great "healthy" menu by awesome owners. Perfect for a morning coffee, lunch meet up, takeout and a good place to catch up on some work while away!

A truly wonderful spa and dining experience! I go frequently with friends to hang out at their cozy wine bar. Mirbeau is just a quick walk or bike ride from the house. You can buy a day pass to use the fitness center and spa facilities, including the outside hot tub area (fyi...it can turn into a bit of a party scene out there sometimes). Be sure to book a treatment and, if you love a good vacation spa experience, plan to spend at least half a day here while in Skaneateles!

A long-time staple in Skaneateles. Classic Italian menu and a great place for a big group or romantic dinner. Outdoor courtyard seating with heaters in the warmer months. The bar is great too!

Sightseeing

This is "the" place in the village for "chillin" by the lake! Pack a picnic (or grab a sandwich from Valentine's or Good Eats across the street!). Fish off the pier, launch your kayak or paddleboard or just sit and enjoy the view! This is also where Midlakes Navigation launches the Judge Ben for daily boat cruises.

This is the quieter park in town but just as scenic. Don't miss walking to the other end of town to catch the shops on the east side, ending with a beautiful view of the lake from Thayer Park.

Short, flat hike (about 1.5 miles round trip) along the historic Skaneateles creek and railroad. See remnants of old mills and be sure to stop at the Last Shot Distillery and Skaneateles Brewery right along the path before or after your walk...or both!

Beautiful trails about 5 miles east of town in Marcellus. No dogs allowed unfortunately but if you like a steeper more challenging hike and/or you enjoy nature center offerings, this is a must visit in the area.

Cool little spot off the beaten path (I owned a bookstore/coffeehouse in this building for 10 years). Enjoy a huge assortment of local brews, good selection of wine and light food. Check their live music schedule!

Housed in the same historic building with the now famous Last Shot distillery just outside of town and on the Skaneateles Creek and Charlie Major Trail. This is a really cool spot! Parking available. Outdoor live music and food trucks on warm weekends. Great local Sunday fun day place-to-be!

About five miles from the village, this is the only full-service marina on Skaneateles Lake. Boats and watersport equipment are available to rent and purchase. Highly recommend calling them prior to your visit to get something booked...the boats rent quickly for the summer weekends!
