The goats love you at first sight. With all the weeds around, you can’t help but wonder why they’re so interested in you. They’re like a bunch of Pavlovian dogs staring you down, craving for the treat they think you’ve brought. Or maybe they’re not used to drive-by photography.

You could call it agritourism, even if it’s practically in your backyard around Conesus Lake. A simple walk around the pastoral block will yield a variety of farm experiences, from picking strawberries and grapes to befriending a curious calf. And with fall foliage at its peak this October, you’d better hoof it to the Lake sooner rather than later. Find the best lodging options at the link below.
