Lake Day Atlas

Near Trumansburg, Taughannock Falls State Park connects two very different landscapes. A wooded gorge leads visitors inland, while the lakefront opens toward the long sweep of Cayuga Lake.

On the water

Plan your lake day

Walk the gorge trail when it is open, then cross to the lakeside portion of the park for a picnic. The overlook is a separate stop if your group would rather see the falls without the full walk.

Field notes

Before you go

Check the state park trail map before parking. The overlook, gorge entrance and lakeshore are separate destinations even though they share the same park name.
