Robert H. Treman State Park
Twelve waterfalls in Enfield Glen. The Gorge Trail follows stone steps along the cliff past Lucifer Falls, and in summer you can swim in the natural pool beneath the falls.
Robert H. Treman State Park is about 8 km southwest of Ithaca. Enfield Glen contains 12 waterfalls. The most famous is Lucifer Falls, with a drop of about 35 metres. The recommended route starts at the upper entrance, Old Mill, follows the Gorge Trail down to Lucifer Falls and returns on the Rim Trail. The loop is about 4.5 km and takes 1.5–2 hours. The stone steps are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes. The natural pool beneath the falls at the lower entrance is open for swimming in summer when lifeguards are on duty. Vehicle entry costs about $10, and the gorge trail is closed in winter.
