We just spent the May long weekend camping at the Taughannock Falls State Park. The Campgrounds have limited space in their campsites but the park itself is beautiful. For electric sites, I would recommend sites 8 thru 16. The facilities are clean, the lawns manicured and a great children's play area. Unfortunately the lake and children's playground are a distance... More

We walked the whole thing. North rim, South rim and down to the falls. If you have trouble with steps then the rim walks are not for you but the walk to the falls itself is fairly flat. It took us about 2 and a half hours to complete - we had our dog with us. I don't think we... More

I went to college in the are so I was familiar with this beautiful park and its falls. Visited it again during our trip to the wineries and although we did not stop for long, still enjoyed the peace and quiet while we were there, as well as the beautiful Taughannock Falls. More
