VISIT OWEGO, NEW YORK -- THE COOLEST SMALL TOWN IN AMERICA! 

It's official!  The CBS Early Show announced Wednesday, April 15, 2009 that Owego, NY was the "Coolest Small Town in America," through an online contest for Budget Travel Magazine.  Owego will be featured in their October issue this fall.  Make sure you visit us soon!

It doesn't matter if you're traveling from the north, south, east or west, we are a great stop on your way to the Finger Lakes, to Manhattan, to Niagara Falls or to Pennsylvania --  there is one place where you must stop to eat, shop, enjoy nature, or just relax. In one of the most beautiful areas of New York State, Tioga is an historic, rural county in the southeastern corner of the Finger Lakes Region.  Rolling hillsides, historic homes, quaint country shops, riverside restaurants, unique farm tours, fabulous festivals and a beautiful river make a trip to this part of the state a memorable visit. 

Outdoor activities include some of the best hunting and fishing to be found anywhere. Walleye fishing in the Susquehanna is the best in the state, and three and four foot Tiger Muskies are just waiting to be caught.  Hiking, biking, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling are popular activities in our 13,000 acres of state forests.  Looking for that getaway gem?  We welcome you to “River Country,” a real pearl in New York’s Finger Lakes Region.
