A must stop when in the area.

It was a lovely sunny day and we stopped to see the Falls. It is small but you can take a little walk down to see the falls up close. If you don't choose to walk down to the falls you still get a great...More

Beautiful Waterfalls

We came across these falls while walking our dog after dinner one night. We continue to come back when we can. The falls are beautiful and it is a peaceful setting!

Awesome View

While visiting Ithaca, this was a nice spot to see. Very relaxing and easy to get to with parking right next to it. The trail is for all ages with easy access. I recommend checking it out.

We were looking for something quick to do while in Ithaca and this was perfect. This waterfall is right in the middle of town and is gorgeous. A short and easy hike takes you the base of the falls. Highly recommend if you are in...More

Pretty Falls

Ithaca Falls is an easily accessible nature walk. No hiking shoes are required. It's a quick in-and-out to view the falls; we saw several people fishing and reading nearby. We parked next to the falls. I would avoid that unless you have an SUV as...More

Ithaca built around falls

Told that this was one of the highest falls in the area (Ithaca, NY) so we made our way over. Parking is across the street and a short walk over uneven rocky ground. The town of Ithaca was built around these falls to house many...More

Nice falls in town

This gorge and falls is really neat considering where it is located in the city. I recommend a stop here anytime to just enjoy nature.

Easy

Easy to get to by car or on foot and easy to get pictures with little effort. You can get pretty close to the falls and view them from either the road or at water level. Free and easy!

The Ithaca Falls are located in town near Cornell University. There is a small parking lot off Lake Street and a very short hike to the falls. The falls are about 100 feet high and we were entertained by a few ducks at the edge...More
