Fillmore Glen State Park
A quieter gorge park where the Gorge Trail crosses eight small bridges past a series of waterfalls. It is named after Millard Fillmore, the 13th U.S. president, who was born nearby.
Fillmore Glen State Park lies south of the village of Moravia, about 30 km from Ithaca. The gorge has five main waterfalls. The Gorge Trail is a round trip of roughly 4 km, alternating between wooden footbridges and stone steps. The scenery rivals the major gorges around Ithaca, but there are far fewer people. At the entrance, you'll find a natural swimming pool fed by a creek (open in summer) and a replica of the small log cabin where Millard Fillmore, the 13th U.S. president, was born. Vehicle entry costs about $8. The gorge trail closes in winter.
