Finger Lakes

AuroraThe village of Aurora epitomizes Finger Lakes life and charm—at once quaint and quirky, intellectual and lighthearted, removed from the world yet completely full of life. Aurora’s history is as long and as complicated as America itself. Originally settled by the Cayuga tribe of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Nation, Aurora was first called “Deawendote,” meaning “Village of the Constant Dawn”—a name echoed by the early Anglo-American settlers who dubbed it “Aurora” after the goddess of the dawn. The village was also known as Peachtown, because of an orchard of some 1500 trees, destroyed in the Sullivan campaign of 1779. Since that early moment, a parade of characters has enriched the story of Aurora—Quakers and Revolutionary War veterans, Abolitionists and Suffragettes, farmers and vintners, entrepreneurs and intellectuals. Retaining an air that is historically informed yet fully present in today’s world, Aurora is distinctive—and distinctly Finger Lakes.
Activities & Outings[heading]Lake Life[/heading] Located directly on the shores of Cayuga Lake, the Aurora Inn and the E.B. Morgan House boast the most spectacular lake views and activities in the Finger Lakes. Below are a few suggestions for enjoying our greatest amenity: KAYAKS AND CANOES – Borrow one of our boats for an early morning paddle through glassy waters or an afternoon exploration of the village’s shoreline. BOAT RENTALS – Our staff is happy to provide you with information about half and full-day private boat rentals. Please call us at 315-364-8888 or 866-364-8808 (toll free). SWIMMING – Relive your childhood. Hold your nose, take a deep breath, and leap off of our dock into the refreshing waters of Cayuga Lake! DOCKING – Our dock is open to the public, so why not arrive in style in your own boat? Join us for the day or dock overnight. Please call for availability and policies: 315-364-8888 or 866-364-8808 (toll free). FISHING CHARTERS – What’s biting in Cayuga Lake? Depending on the season, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout and Atlantic Salmon! Let our staff arrange a guided trip for you with Eagle Rock Charters. Or, you can always take part in our favorite activity . . . simply lounging in our hammock or one of our Adirondack chairs and gazing at the lake. Lake life . . . isn’t it wonderful?
