Watkins Glen State Park near Seneca Lake among the Finger Lakes of New York State.

Monday, January 16th, 2006

ยค Named in 2005 as one of Reserve America’s Top Outdoor Locations and one of the Top 100 Campgrounds in the nation.

Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks, with a reputation for leaving visitors spellbound. Within two miles, the glen’s stream descends 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, generating 19 waterfalls along its course. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade. Rim trails overlook the gorge. Campers and day-visitors can enjoy the Olympic-size pool, scheduled summer tours through the gorge, tent and trailer campsites, picnic facilities and excellent fishing in nearby Seneca Lake or Catherine Creek, which is renowned for its annual spring run of rainbow trout.

Buttermilk Falls Ithaca NY

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

Buttermilk Falls State Park takes its name from the foaming cascade formed by Buttermilk Creek as it flows down the steep valley side toward Cayuga Lake. The upper park has a small lake, hiking trails through woodlands and along the gorge and rim, picnic areas and playing fields. The lower park has a campground, pool and playing fields, beyond which is Larch Meadows. Larch Meadows is a moist, shady glen and wetland area through which a nature trail winds.

Buttermilk falls in Ithaca, NY. Just when fall was about to reach the peak around the end of October 2005. Loads of rain had fallen during the week, and had made it a perfect place for the weekend.
