Short drive from the cute little town of Trumansburg where we stayed. Easy access + many trails to explore.
It took hundreds of years for this waterfall to come where it is. It has been moving far away from the lake for many years, leaving a canyon behind itself. It's such a great place to discover. Is't it an #adventure of hundreds of years?) #taughannockfallsstatepark #upstatenewyork #waterfall
Pronounced Tuh-GA-nick, the falls’ name is believed to have derived from the Algonquian Taconic (“in the trees”) or Taghkanic (after a Lenape chieftain killed in battle nearby). Taughannock Falls carves a 122 m deep gorge through layers of sandstone, shale and limestone that were once the bed of an ancient sea. With a 65 m plunge, this waterfall stands three stories taller than Niagara Falls. #Waterfall #outdoors

Best dining in the Finger Lake District! Pretty town, though small, and excellent farmers market (Wednesdays). Eat at Atlas Bowl!
