Written by: Wendy Elkis-Girnis, Class of 1977 Just four and a half hours from Hicksville, between Rochester and Syracuse, you will find 11 lakes. These 11 lakes were carved out by glacial ice 10,000 years ago. The gravel deposits left behind dammed the streams, and the depressions they left behind formed the lakes. These would become the Finger Lakes. They got their name for obvious reasons; they look like outstretched fingers.
