BlufF Point— Lake Keuka 



eracy were the ''Guardians of the Western 

 Door." They Hved in the vicinity of Canandai- 

 gua Lake. Akhough the territory of these invin- 

 cible warriors extended from Lake Ontario to 

 the AUeghanies, and from Seneca Lake to the 

 Niagara River, the official center of their domain, 

 the seat of their government was at Canandiagua 

 Lake. The very name Can-an-dar-que or Kan- 

 an-da-que as it is sometimes spelled signifies ''The 

 Chosen Spot." 



It was at Canandiagua in 1789 that the first 

 office for the sale of land was opened. Canan- 

 daigua is a village worthy of careful inspection 

 by the tourist. Seldom does one find such wide 

 streets and expanses of well kept lawn, such 

 splendid shade trees and such stately old mansion 

 houses. 



Lake Keuka 



Keuka or Crooked Lake appears on the map as 

 a Y leaning to the east to meet its neighbor Sen- 

 eca. The lake is the wildest of the group. The 

 hills which surround it dip into its emerald depths 

 without the beach line usual to most of the Finger 

 Lakes. Only where creeks which tumble from 

 the hillsides have brought down deposits are there 

 beaches of any size. 



Bluff Point which divides the east from the 

 west branch of Lake Keuka is the most out- 

 standing feature of its topography. From this 

 lofty promontory on a clear day seven countie 

 and a dozen lakes are in view.
