There are some very nice state parks in the southern tier such as Letchworth State Park.
In addition, if you like auto racing, there is Watkins Glenn at the south end of Lake Seneca, and some vinyards along the finger lakes region
Just look out for stray deer. There are lots of them on the roads.
If you are in Oswego, especially on a friday night (I think that is still race night) you should go to the speedway and see the super-modifieds run.
These are a class of racing all to themselves. The car specification is almost unlimited, I think aside from basic dimensions the only limits are front engine and solid rear axle (i.e. no rear engines or independant suspension allowed) Basically the cars are the evolution of the late 1950's early 1960's USAC champ cars, with the biggest baddest fule injected north american engine you can put in a car.
They are loud, and very fast and a lot of fun to watch. They represent the go old american engineering principle, it a little is good, a whole lot more is better:D
