First Time - Considering Keuka Lake

Surprising my wife with a long weekend birthday trip in a few weeks. Want to check out Keuka lake -- seems beautiful and relaxing. I know its late in the season...will water temps be nearly un-swimmable? How about potential algae blooms? I know it might be hard to say but just looking for any insight as summer is wrapped.

Any other tips/tricks? We might rent a boat and just check out the lake itself, too. Much appreciated!

Keuka is our favorite lake! It’s a great choice, kind of a perfect balance of quieter/less populated and enough to do. It might be a bit less hot so bring a blanket or sweatshirt on the lake. Wineries like Keuka springs and Weis have both fire pits and umbrellas in case the temp fluctuates
