Conesus Lake

Conesus Lake is the western most Finger Lake and is a popular getaway for many people living in Rochester. The lake is small, yet is home to many seasonal cottages and year round homes. This lake freezes each winter and is a popular attraction for fisherman in all seasons. Bass, both largemouth and smallmouth are plentiful. Northern pike, walleye, the perch and bluegills can be large enough for the table.
