Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

In a region full of spectacular natural areas, Watkins Glen State Park is considered the most beautiful and is the most popular of all the Finger Lakes State Parks. The stream runs through a 2-mile long glen, dropping 400 feet past vertical 200-foot cliffs, creating 19 waterfalls along its course, four of them major. The trail runs through the gorge, winding over and under waterfalls and through the lush forest, overlooking the gorge from a number of spots. The park is located in the village of Watkins Glen and offers easy and pleasant recreation. It has an Olympic-size pool, scheduled tours through the gorge in the summer, campsites, and picnic facilities. The fishing is excellent in nearby Seneca Lake and Catherine Creek.
