Dinner Cruise
Twin Birch Farms is blessed to be located just up the hill from the shores of Skaneateles Lake. Often regarded as one of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes in the United States, William Henry Seward called it "The most beautiful body of water in the world." We have booked a private dinner cruise with Mid-lakes Navigation onboard "The Judge." Seating is limited, so please be sure to secure your tickets early! For those attending the dinner cruise, please plan on arriving at 5:30pm at the Mid-Lakes Navigation Dock (near the Gazebo) at Clift Park, 15 West Genesee Street, Skaneateles, NY 13152. The boat sets sail at 6:00pm sharp and will return around 8:30pm. Your ticket includes dinner and two drinks, including alcoholic options. If you wish to purchase additional drinks while onboard, please bring money with you. Parking in the village of Skaneateles can be challenging so please carpool with friends and allow for ample time to find parking. A large public metered parking lot can be found behind Key Bank, between Jordan St. and State St. There is also metered street parking around the village. About a 15 minute (1/2 mile) walk away you can often find easier parking at the Austin Park Pavilion which is free. If you are driving a large truck or dually, the Austin Park Pavilion is probably your best bet at finding parking. The Austin Park Pavilion's address is 1 E. Austin St., Skaneateles, NY 13152 and is located straight up Jordan Rd. from downtown, on the right across from St. Mary's Church.
