Watkins Glen is located in
Schuyler County 21 miles north of
Elmira between Monyour Falls and Lakemont along Highway 14 in the
Western Region of the state. At the southern tip of
Seneca Lake, Watkins Glen is renowned for its summer auto racing at Watkins Glen International. Long before the roar of cars, this small town's most notable features were the nearby salt wells, which made this region one of the state's major salt producers.
Several wineries are located in the area as well.
