Canandaigua Lake
Canandaigua Lake · The unglamorous list

Groceries, gas, urgent care.

The list nobody Instagrams. Where to grocery-shop on a Saturday afternoon. Which gas station's open at 11. Where the pharmacy is at six on a Sunday. The closest urgent care if the kid hits the dock the wrong way.

We list the boring stuff so the vacation works.

Grocery & provisions

1 listed
  • Canandaigua
    Wegmans Canandaigua
    Editor's pick

    The Route 332 Wegmans is the provisioning stop for the whole lake — the prepared-food case, the cheese counter, and a wine department deeper than any convenience store between here and Rochester. Open until midnight. Stop here on the way in from the Thruway before you drive down the west shore.

Hardware, liquor & ice

  • Canandaigua
    Ace Hardware — Canandaigua

    The Route 332 Ace covers the lake rental lifecycle — the fishing tackle you forgot, the propane exchange, the boat drain plug that always goes missing. Open seven days. Faster than the box stores for the one thing you actually need. Ice and firewood by the front door in season.

    Mon–Sat 7:30 a.m.–8 p.m., Sun 9 a.m.–5 p.m.

Urgent care & pharmacy

1 listed
  • Canandaigua
    UR Medicine Thompson Health

    Canandaigua's hospital on Parrish Street — 24-hour emergency department, urgent care attached, and the closest full-service medical for the entire lake. About 10 minutes from the City Pier, 25 minutes from Naples. Save the address in your phone when you check in; you'd rather have it and not need it.
