Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The 215 foot waterfall in this park is the highest east of the Rocky Mountains and is 33 foot higher than the Niagara Falls. The gorge and rim trails afford spectacular views of the riverine landscape and the cabins, campsites and picnic area overlook Cayuga Lake. The area was a tourist hub until 1925 when travel by rail was at its peak. Steamboats offered rides on the lake and there were several lakeside hotels. It is popular once again with the park offering summer concerts, guided tours and boat rentals. In winter, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and sledding are popular activities in the 750 acre park.
