COVID-19 Update: In the state of New York, groups must stay within 10 people or less. 

Vacations are a time to make memories with the ones you love the most. So, why not gather your relatives for a little family-friendly getaway to the Finger Lakes of New York? During these times, it?s important to social distance so it?s not a bad idea to head to upstate New York where you can have fun in the great outdoors rather than in urban crowds.  Plus, staying in a vacation rental means you can avoid the interactions you would have at a hotel or a bed and breakfast. If you and your extended family members feel safe traveling, read on for the best multigenerational family mountain vacation ideas!

Multigenerational Family Mountain Vacation Ideas 

Mountain Biking 

The Finger Lakes region offers a good selection of biking trails for mountain biking. For a deep woodland feel, head to Harriet Hollister Spencer Recreation Area. Most of the trails follow old forest roads or make loops, so you have plenty of nature-filled sights to see. You can also try cross-country skiing there in the winter! 

Horseback Riding 

Another fun activity for your family vacation is horseback riding! Painted Bar Stables offers year-round guided trail rides and lessons. They aim to take small, intimate groups of three to four riders but can take up to 15 depending on New York?s COVID-19 guidelines. 

Water Activities 

The Finger Lakes consist of  several long lakes, so there?s bound to be plenty of water activities that families can enjoy. Your extended family can choose to go swimming, boating, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, fly fishing, water skiing, and much more! Plus, there are many options of lakes to choose from. It?s a good thing our Finger Lakes Premier Properties vacation rentals are spread out throughout the Finger Lakes region, so you can always be close to the action.
