For your next day trip you could consider taking a ninety minute drive to the Taughannock Falls State Park in Trumansburg, to see one of the most impressive waterfalls in the North East US. The impressive Taughannock Falls plunge spectacularly through a gap in the towering rocky walls of the gorge, dropping 215 feet into a pool at the foot of the gorge. There are both rim and gorge trails to explore on foot for excellent views of the waterfalls and the surrounding rock formations. Other park activities include boating on Cayuga Lake, a swimming beach, and hiking and biking along a multi-use trail which offers great cross-country skiing in winter.
