In west-central New York state there is a group of eleven long, narrow, glacial lakes known as the finger lakes. from east to west these lakes are Otisco, Skaneateles, Owasco, Cayuga, Seneca, Keuka, Canandaigua, Honeoye, Canadice, Hemlock, and Conesus.These lakes have been aptly named because of their resemblance to the finger of a hand. Two of the largest of the finger lakes, Seneca and Cayuga, exemplify the selection of the name; Seneca is thirty-seven miles long and four miles across at its widest point, and Cayuga is forty miles long and two miles across.

Although scientist are not completely certain as two how these lakes were formed, most believe that successive sheets of glacial ice carved out the long, narrow valleys. The glacial ice carved out the long, narrow valleys. The glaciers most probably moved along the paths of pre-existing stream valleys and further deepened these valleys to depth below sea level. With the melting of the glaciers at the end of the ice age, the lakes were filled.
