Penn Yan, NY

united states

Penn Yan anchors the north end of Keuka Lake in New York's Finger Lakes region, serving as Yates County's seat. Route 14 south from Rochester provides the main 45-mile connection, while Route 54 brings visitors from the southern tier. The city sits where Keuka Lake's Y-shaped arms meet, surrounded by vineyard-covered hills that benefit from the lake's climate moderation. The historic Birkett Mills has been grinding buckwheat flour here since 1797.
