Overview
Seaplane Experience
If you’re feeling a little blue about summer’s end, it’s time to plan an autumn weekend getaway to enjoy the fall foliage, and The Lake House on Canandaigua has the perfect itinerary for you.
Through November this year, the luxurious lake resort in New York’s Finger Lakes region is partnering with Tropic Ocean Airways to fly guests from New York City directly to the property. The 226-mile flight takes about 90 minutes and is undoubtedly the easiest way to travel upstate. Simply board the flight at New York Skyports Seaplane base on East 23rd Street, take off on the East River, and land right on Canandaigua Lake. The seaplanes can accommodate up to eight guests along with luggage and are pet-friendly.
