Schuyler County is a county in the U.S. state of New York. The population was 17,507 in 2023. The county seat is the village of Watkins Glen. Schuyler County is in the western part of New York State, west of Ithaca at the south end of Seneca Lake. Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks, with a reputation for leaving visitors spellbound.

The Finger Lakes National Forest lies on a ridge-called the backbone-between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes in the Finger Lakes region. New York State's only national forest, this multi-use land is reminiscent of western national forests with a great deal of open land and free-ranging cattle. The forest has over 30 miles of interconnecting trails that traverse gorges, ravines, pastures and woodlands.
