The town of Ithaca sits at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake, the second largest in the Fingerlakes region of New York State. It combines breathtaking natural beauty and a small-town lifestyle with the cultural and culinary offerings of larger cities. The seasonal climate in this privileged setting allows for many outdoor activities, such as sailing, swimming, biking, hiking, skiing, or ice skating.
