Keuka Lake, also known as the crooked lake because of its shape is unique among the Finger Lakes. Not only is it the only Y-shaped Finger Lake, it is also one of only two Finger Lakes that drains into another Finger Lake. Keuka Lake was the last Finger Lake to be discovered by early settlers because it existed in the shadow of Seneca Lake. Early travellers would have to go around Seneca Lake to head West, and as a result never saw Keuka Lake as they continued on their journey. Keuka Lake has the longest history of wine making and is also considered a cradle of aviation. Another name, "The Lady of the Lakes" only hints at its unquestioned beauty. Hammondsport on the South end of the lake, was the home of Glenn Curtiss. Curtiss was a true pioneer in the field of aviation. He invented the first flying boat (seaplane) on Keuka Lake. The first bombs ever dropped from an airplane were dropped (by Curtiss) onto a raft on Keuka's waters. This was done to prove a concept that planes could be used for offensive manuvers in war time. A stop in to the Glenn Curtiss Museum is a must see. Useful Keuka Lake information:
