Honeoye Lake is one of the Finger Lakes of New York State. The lake is in Ontario County, New York. Most of the lake is within the Town of Richmond, but a smaller southwestern part is in the Town of Canadice.
Honeoye Lake is considered one of the minor Finger Lakes and is located to the west of the major lakes. To its west are other minor Finger Lakes: Conesus Lake, Hemlock Lake, and Canadice Lake.
As with the other Finger Lakes, Honeoye Lake was created by the advance and subsequent melting of continental glaciation.
The surface is about 245 meters above sea level. The lake is long and narrow with a roughly north-south orientation. Its surface area is slightly more than 7 square kilometers. It is also relatively shallow and warmer that the other Finger Lakes. Its outlet is Honeoye Creek, which flows northward.
The community of Honeoye is located at its northern end.
