A little waterfall on the Taughannock Creek




Water from the Taughannock Creek leads to the Cayuga Lake


The water is fresh and chilled



The puddles on the gorge's limestone floor is dissolved by natural rainwater that's slightly acidic


Chipped off stone layer


is very brittle



Hiking along the Taughannock Gorge that has been shaped by the waterfalls over >12,000 years


Frozen waterfall


When it really falls, it's disastrous

Although beautiful, the layered stone around the falls can fracture and drop anytime
We witnessed it during our visit. So, be careful and look up~!


Lots of fallen rocks


The Taughannock waterfall is 215 feet high, the tallest free-falling waterfall in the NE U.S.



"Taughannock" means "in the trees" in the Algonuqin Indian language
