Sterling (New York)

Sterling is a rural town in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The village of Fair Haven is the primary population center.

Get in
By road, Fairhaven is on NY state highway 104A, a branch of the 104 highway from Rochester to Oswego. From Syracuse, take NY 481 to Fulton, then NY 3 to its western terminus.

Air and rail connections are available at Syracuse.

Sleep
Sterling is a sleepy little town... except when the Renaissance Festival is going on. Even then, most visitors attend as a day trip from Oswego, Syracuse, or even Rochester. But if you do want to stay overnight, there are a surprising number of options for such a small community. Most of them are in Fair Haven, catering to Little Sodus Bay fishermen and boaters.
