Keuka Lake
Keuka Lake ( )〔http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/keuka+lake〕 is one of the major Finger Lakes in the U.S. state of New York. It is unusual because it is Y-shaped, in contrast to the long and narrow shape of the other Finger Lakes. Due to its shape, it was referred to in the past as Crooked Lake. ''Keuka'' means "canoe landing" in the Iroquois language and "lake with an elbow" in the Seneca language.

The stream empties into Seneca Lake at the village of Dresden. At one time the outlet was developed into a canal, the Crooked Lake Canal, connecting the lakes. This canal was later replaced by a railroad branch line which is now a hiking and cycling trail.
