Victor is located in the midst of the Finger Lakes district of New York state. The village is about 22 miles from the southern shore of Lake Ontario. Several area attractions will appeal to the active vacationer, whether you prefer hiking through natural scenery, playing a round or two of golf or exploring historic sites.

Ganondagan State Historic Site

This state historic site celebrates the heritage of the Seneca tribe, a part of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois nation that lived in this area. During the winter season, the site holds the Ganondagan Winter Games and Sports event and the Seneca Snow Shoe Run competition. There are three interpretive hiking trails traversing the historic site: the Earth is Our Mother trail, the Granary Trail at Fort Hill and the Trail of Peace.
