Buttermilk Falls State Park

Visit Buttermilk Falls State Park if waterfalls are your thing. Its spectacular waterfall, which cascades down the wide valley inside the park's boundaries from bubbling Buttermilk Creek, inspired its naming. This park is a remarkable work of natural beauty and is home to many must-see attractions.

Buttermilk Falls comes first, which bears the name of the park, is a 165-foot-tall cascade waterfall with numerous levels that emerges from a forested slope like a rock-made waterslide. The most fascinating part of this kid-friendly park is upstream, where sharply curled ravines have formed as a result of the water's constant flow into Cayuga Lake. You won't be able to resist taking pictures of this 165-foot wonder, one of New York's best waterfalls, because it is so stunning. The best place to see wildlife is Larch Meadows, which is the next stop. This tranquil area is one of the best places to visit in New York State and is a wetland graced by a winding nature trail.
