Don’t go chasing waterfalls…with a book in your hand.

Taughannock Falls State Park 🍁

After an easy hour long walk you’ll find yourself at the bottom of the falls. We went in October which was perfect - both for pictures and for a nice cool day.

There are a few paths that go around the park as well where you can find the bridge of locks and some great views of the gulley. The visitor’s center was cute, but didn’t offer a lot of information on the falls so in case anyone is interested, here’s the scoop;

The cataract drop from Taughannock is 215 feet, 66 meters - technically taller than the American side of Niagara. The origin of the name is under debate. The name either comes from the Delaware Indian chief Taughannock or from the Delaware word taghkanic (“great fall in the woods”). More information can be found at this website which is run by a local resident.
