Open Year-Round
Entry Fee Charged
Visitors view towering Taughannock Falls from an overlook. Taughannock Falls is in the Finger Lakes region. Taughannock Falls State Park offers many scenic vistas. Taughannock Falls are the highest in the northeastern United States. At 215 feet, these falls are even higher than Niagara Falls, and are known for their beauty and power. The falls have created a narrow gorge, whose must-see hiking trail is part of a five-mile network of hiking trails at Taughannock. Swimming, boating, camping and fishing are all popular from spring to early fall. The park is especially beautiful during fall foliage season. During winter, visitors enjoy snow shoeing, cross-country skiing and ice-skating. The state park is next to Cayuga Lake off Route 89, eight miles north of Ithaca.
