Traveling to Lindley by RV

Interstate 86 (formerly Route 17) provides the main east-west corridor through the region, with Exit 34 at Hornell offering the closest major highway access to Lindley. This scenic route follows the Canisteo River valley, providing beautiful mountain and farmland views that make the drive part of your camping experience.

Route 36 runs north-south through the area, connecting to Bath and the heart of Finger Lakes wine country.
