Our last tour before leaving Bath, NY and the Finger Lakes Region was to Taugannock Falls. We took a pretty drive across country of about 1 1/2 hours. We drove past Watkins Glen at the tip of Seneca Lake over to Cayuga Lake and Taugannock Falls State Park. The falls at 215 feet are among the highest east of the Rockies, and I think are the tallest east of the Mississippi River.
We enjoyed a 3/4 mile walk along the stream although it was a very warm day.
The falls are certainly pretty, but we liked the falls at Watkins Glen and at Letchworth SP better.
We then drove the short distance down to Ithaca, NY and rode around the campus of Cornell University. It has some lovely buildings spread over several hillsides and sits in a pretty spot right on the southern shore of Lake Cayuga. However we were happy to get away from there because the traffic was really slow and congested – due to lots of students and relatively small streets combined with the occasional train blocking major intersections (just like Columbia, SC at certain times of the day).
