Why 11 Lakes? Because it’s who we are.

Welcome to the heart of Upstate New York, where the landscape is carved by time, water, and wonder. The 11 Finger Lakes are more than just long, glacial bodies of water — they’re the soul of the region and the inspiration behind everything we do.

At 11 Lakes Design, we don’t just reference these lakes — we celebrate them. Each design we create is a nod to the places we hike, paddle, fish, sip, and share stories. From Skaneateles’ crisp elegance to Owasco’s quiet charm in Moravia’s backyard, our work reflects the authentic spirit of lake life.

🗺️ The Eleven Finger Lakes

Listed west to east, these lakes shape the culture, history, and style of our collections:

• Conesus Lake – The western gateway, beloved for summer traditions.

• Hemlock Lake – Pristine and protected, a symbol of quiet beauty.

• Canadice Lake – Rugged, remote, and a hiker’s paradise.

• Honeoye Lake – Small but mighty, full of local heart.

• Canandaigua Lake – The “Chosen Spot,” where vineyards meet deep water.

• Keuka Lake – The only Y-shaped lake, where wine and water twist together.

• Seneca Lake – Deep, powerful, and the anchor of Finger Lakes wine country.

• Cayuga Lake – Long and vibrant, home to Ithaca’s energy.

• Owasco Lake – Just outside our back door in Moravia — personal and proud.

• Skaneateles Lake – Sparkling and elegant, a true jewel.

• Otisco Lake – A quiet eastern retreat for those who know where to look.

  🎨 Design Rooted in Place

  Every product in our shop — from shirts and mugs to home decor and stickers — carries a piece of this region with it. We draw from the lakes’ colors, curves, and culture to craft items that feel personal, nostalgic, and unmistakably Finger Lakes.

  So whether you’re a lifelong resident or a lake-loving visitor, welcome. This is your place, your story, and your lake. Let’s wear it proudly.
