Hiking the Finger Lakes, Taughannock Falls ​⁠is spectacular!

Taughannock Falls state Park has multiple trails and amenities. Taughannock Falls is not to be missed if you are in the area… some travel specifically to the Ithaca area to see these falls.

The gorge trail takes you to the bottom of Taughannock Falls. It is about a mile and a quarter out and back. This gorge trail is fairly easy with many benches to rest and take in the beauty. This is one of the few gorge trails open in the winter months in the area.

Taughannock Falls plunges 215 feet past rocky cliffs that tower nearly 400 feet above the gorge, making it the tallest single-drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains. The gorge and rim trails offer spectacular views from above the falls and from below at the end of the gorge trail.
