With bans in eight states, activists are now looking to New York, where Gov. Kathy Hochul is considering a proposal recently approved by the Legislature.

Camping with Leo Maloney: New York’s Cayuga Lake State Park

Picture gently rolling hills covered with vineyards. A deep blue lake with fishing boats trolling. These bring back memories of camping in the “grape lakes.”
Cayuga Lake State Park has nearly 300 sites, both tent and trailer, nicely spaced. It has become a favorite campground for several reasons, including nicely spaced sites at the northwest corner of Cayuga Lake, only three miles from Seneca Falls.
