Tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi (or so I've heard). Excellent level one-mile hike through the gorge to the falls. Amazing stratification along the walls of the gorge. The park across the road is a beautiful place on Cayuga Lake.

Hike from the top. Go 1/4 of the way down, to Lucifer Falls. Stunning scenery. The whole loop is quite an excursion. You can take the car to the bottom and hit the absolute-best swimming hole this side of paradise. The falls pour in. Great diving board. Of course, everyone else knows about this place, so enjoy the company.
