Finger Lakes region
offers a wealth of natural beauty, recreation and entertainment opportunities. Following is a small

state-of-
the-art fitness center, overlooking the lake, at Wells
College.
Also available are tennis courts, a pool and nine holes of golf.

or canoe from
the Aurora Inn and explore the countryside. Ask the front desk
about nearby downhill and cross-country skiing. And, in spring,
summer and fall, experience LAKE LIFE in Aurora.
