Macedon’s Mid-Lakes Erie Macedon Landing is the home marina to Mid-Lakes Navigation (315/685-8500, www.midlakesnav.com [1]) where you can learn to drive one of the gleaming wooden canal boats that await visitors who come to relive a bit of history. These simple-to-pilot boats can be driven by anyone with a few lessons.
Nearby Long Acre Farms (1342 Eddy Rd., 315/986-4202, www.longacrefarms.com [2]), a family farm with Scandinavian jumping pillow (for all ages), gemstone panning, and the Amazing Maize Maze attract visitors.
The town’s annual, mid-September Lumberjack Festival (Macedon Center Fireman’s Field, Rte 31 & Canandaigua Rd, 315/986-3732, www.macedoncenterfire.org [3]) lets even amateurs unleash their inner Paul Bunyan with log rolling and team ‘greased pole’ climbing.
