What natural attractions are near Syracuse?

Syracuse is roughly halfway between Niagara Falls and the Adirondacks, making it a gateway to the awesome nature of upstate New York. The Finger Lakes are close by, and Cayuga Lake State Park makes a good home base to dip in your toes. The park campground has cabins near the shore and hilltop tent sites. Boat launches are on the beach, and the waters are quite good for catching largemouth bass. Over a dozen vineyards and wineries are a short drive away.
