Wikipedia description:

Canandaigua Lake a Finger Lake in Ontario County in western New York state. It is the westernmost of the major Finger Lakes, largest of the four Finger Lakes in the county, and fourth largest by size of the Finger Lakes. The City of Canandaigua is located at the northern end of the lake and the village of Naples is several miles south of the southern end. The name Canandaigua is derived from the Seneca name spelled variously Kanandarque, Ganondagan, Ga-nun-da-gwa, or in a modern transcription, tganǫdæ:gwęh, which means "the chosen spot", or "at the chosen town".
