Buttermilk Falls State Park
If you love gorgeous, dramatic displays of natural beauty, you will love Buttermilk Falls State Park in Ithaca, NY. This park is named after the foaming cascade of Buttermilk Creek, which meanders and flows down a steep valley toward Cayuga Lake. The park features a series of waterfalls along the Gorge Trail. You can also enjoy the views of the lake and the forest from the Rim Trail. You can camp at one of the campsites or cabins, swim at the natural pool at the base of Buttermilk Falls, fish at Buttermilk Creek, or picnic at one of the pavilions or tables.
