About Taughannock Falls

Taughannock Falls State Park is just northwest of Ithaca, NY in the Finger Lakes region. The main cataract of Taughannock Falls located at the head of a 3/4 mile gorge trail. The falls are a single 215-foot drop, (which is actually 33 ft higher than Niagra Falls... but who's counting) and is the one of the tallest continuous falls east of the Rockies.

In short, it's pretty.


Taughannock Falls empties into Lake Cayuga.
