LOCATION

TAUGHANNOCK FALLS STATE PARK

Taughannock Falls State Park's namesake waterfall is one of the outstanding natural attractions of the Northeast. Taughannock Falls plunges 215 feet past 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. Campsites and cabins overlook Cayuga Lake, with marina, boat launch and beach nearby. A multi-use trail--hiking, cross-country skiing--winds past sledding slopes and natural skating ponds. The park offers organized activities including tours through the Taughannock Gorge and summer concerts along the lakefront.

"The Philadelphia Dragon Boat Association was in Ithaca from the very beginning. What a great race that we definitely encourage everyone to race in. Good competition, fun and held in a beautiful part of the State of New York.”
