Lake-facing patios, west-shore tasting rooms, the dock at the right time of year. Bring a sweater after seven, even in July.
The one restaurant that actually sits on Owasco Lake, at the south end off Route 38 near South Shore Marina — this address has changed names more than once in recent years, most recently from Drifters on Owasco. Open Wednesday through Sunday, starting at six in the morning, which makes it more breakfast-and-lunch spot than dinner destination. Call ahead; hours and ownership here shift season to season.
