Welcome to Conesus, NY


Overview

Conesus is a town on the eastern edge of central Livingston County, bordered to the north by Livonia, to the east by Hemlock Lake, to the south by Sparta and Springwater, and to the west by Groveland and, in the northern half, Conesus Lake. With two of the Finger Lakes – albeit minor Finger Lakes – on its borders, it’s not hard to figure out the big attraction of Conesus.


Essentials

Conesus has little in the way of stores, but nearby Livonia (7 miles north) has a small business district that includes West’s Shurfine Food Market, a Dollar General Store, Shoreless Acres General Store, restaurants, antique shops and businesses catering to boaters. For major retailers, Geneseo (12 miles northwest) has a Walmart Supercenter and, for grocery shopping, a Wegmans store. There’s also a Tops Friendly Markets grocery store in Dansville (12 miles south). 



Recreation & Entertainment

Like its neighbors, Conesus is a small town with the great outdoors as its main attraction. Conesus Lake is especially busy in the summer months with boaters, campers, and fishermen and –women. The undeveloped Hemlock Lake is more suited to quitter pursuits, like hiking and observing nature. The hamlet of Hemlock in neighboring Livonia holds the annual “Little World’s Fair” each summer.



Transportation & Traffic

Route 15 runs north-south through Conesus. Route 33 heads east-west, intersecting with Route 15 at its eastern end.



Pros & Cons

Conesus is one of the quieter, more undeveloped towns in the area. As such, most of the “entertainment” here is the great outdoors, particularly Conesus Lake and the more pristine Hemlock Lake. It’s a quick drive to surrounding towns to find almost any kind of shopping and more things to do.
