Finger lAkeS region TAUGHANNOCK FALLS STATE PARK Taughannock Falls State Park provides spectacular views of Cayuga Lake with its clear blue water reflecting the wooded hillsides and premier sunsets, but the park’s namesake waterfall is the real draw. One of the outstanding natural attractions of the Northeast, Taughannock Falls plunges 215 feet down rocky cliffs that tower nearly 400 feet above the gorge. Gorge and rim trails offer spectacular views from above the falls and from below at the end of the gorge trail. Campground and cabin areas are available nearby. The guarded swimming beach, boat launch, marina, and picnic area are located on Cayuga Lake. The park also offers organized activities including tours through the Taughannock Gorge and summer concerts along the lakefront. Be sure to ask about the Youth Environmental Explorer program for younger campers. | 58 www.nysparks.com http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/Camping/Taughannock%20Falls%20State%20Park/r/campgroundDetails.do?subTabIndex=campDetail&contractCode=NY&parkId=218 http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/Camping/Taughannock%20Falls%20State%20Park/r/campgroundDetails.do?subTabIndex=campDetail&contractCode=NY&parkId=218 http://www.nysparks.com
