Fodor's Review:

Water cascades over 10 falls through a ¾-mi gorge, dropping close to 500 feet, at this park on Ithaca's south end. A swimming hole sits at the base of the falls, and the park also has playing fields, a campground (open mid-May to mid-October), and hiking trails through woodlands and wetlands. Nearly all the trails are closed in winter.

  • Cost: Parking $7 late May-early Sept., $6 weekends early Sept.-mid-Oct. and Apr.-late May
  • Open: Daily dawn-dusk
