Buttermilk Falls State Park
Another famous Ithaca waterfall!

Turn left from the Bungalow, and go to the end of our road, opposite Hudson. Just past the three large rocks on your left is an angled pathway that takes you to the trail. Turn left and head on your way on the main trail, or exit to the left of the main trail to wind through the forest and down to the water. Great to walk, bike, or run!

Science Education
So many fossils!! Also, the displays and videos really work to help the visitor better understand the changing geology over time. If you are an armchair scientist like me, it's a "must see".
