The Finger Lake Region

We spent several weeks in the Finger Lake Region of New York. We came in through the east and started our adventure at Filmore Glen State Park. We spent a week exploring all of the waterfalls and state parks in that area. Our stops included Green Lakes State Park, Chittenango Falls, Delphi Falls and Carpenter Falls. We also took a day trip past Ithica and hiked Taughannock State Park.

For our second week we stayed in Watkins Glen at the county park, Clute Memorial. We took advantage of the nice weather and hiked Watkins Glen State Park Gorge Trail the first day. During that week we also visited the Winmill Farm and Craft Market. Some of our favorite hikes that week were the Cascade Mill trails, Robert H Treman State Park, and Buttermilk Falls State Park. In Ithaca there are a variety of waterfall hikes and many that are just quick drive by stops. Triphammer Falls, Cascadilla Gorge and Ithaca Falls were all super short walks to spectacular views.
