Cascadilla Gorge Trail

Absolutely stunning from start to finish. We started at the bottom of the gorge on Courtland street and made our way all the way to the top where the trail ends at Cornell. Beautiful, serene, calming, this is such a gem and so close to downtown Ithaca. Definitely don’t skip on this one, the uphill step climb can be a bit challenging but it’s definitely worth the effort.

What a wonderful trail! Found it randomly while exploring Ithaca and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s near a neighborhood. So relaxing and wonderful to see plenty of waterfalls! I didn’t go the whole way but from what I saw, it is a little steep as you keep going with a lot of stairs. I’d wear supportive shoes. It’s a place to check out if you need a break from downtown Ithaca.

This was an awesome spot. Highly recommended! There is no parking lot from what I saw so we parked on a residential street and walked the gorge. Wasn't to crowded on an August morning. Definitely worth the hike!

In the heart of Ithaca, one can embark on a scenic hike through a gorge, meandering past a series of cascading waterfalls. I came across some deers along the way.nnVisiting the falls in the early morning is ideal for those looking to avoid crowds. The trail closes in early November.

As a Floridian, its hard to wrap my head around how this gorge goes through the town and the college campus. It was a very beautiful trail that had wonderful sights. I felt very relax although my used-to-being-at-sea-level self struggled on the stairs back up from the gorge. This trail did not disappoint! There are many areas where you can choose to stop and recharge.
