Taughannock Falls State Park's namesake waterfall is one of the outstanding natural attractions of the Northeast. Taughannock Falls plunges 215 feet past rocky cliffs that tower nearly 400 feet above the gorge. Gorge and rim trails offer spectacular views from above the falls and from below at the end of the gorge trail. Campsites and cabins overlook Cayuga Lake, with marina, boat launch and beach nearby. A multi-use trail--hiking, cross-country skiing--winds past sledding slopes and natural skating ponds.

An 1820s swing barn turned winery, Americana offers historical charm to ease into your adventures with delectable wines, meals, and even homemade fudge. The LGBTQ-owned winery prides itself on knowing how to host a good time and create a sense of community for anyone who visits, starting from the moment you enter the property and are greeted by Maverick and Lilly--the owner’s two rescued labradors.
