Incredibly beautiful in the winter with frozen waterfalls. Highly recommend the 10 dollar admission fee is under charging honestly. 10/10 the gorge trail is so peaceful in the snow. Was the only park still with trails open despite the snow and cold.
[Tuh-Gan-Ick] Falls state park is one the of most beautiful state park in NY. It has spectacular natural attractions of waterfalls, and a lake front on the other side of the road The Gorge Trail to the waterfall is very easy to access. I visited in the winter to see the falls frozen over, and the park rangers had done an excellent job keeping the trail well maintained. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the waterfall, and there’s very little elevation change along the way. North Rim trail entrance was close during winter due to ice and snow. But you can skip the dangerous part of the trail by parking at the Taughannock Falls overlook point and start hiking from there. Then you will reach the upper falls. Parking is only $10. lot is small so warmer weather probably will fill up pretty quickly.
