In Ithaca, the gorges create a dramatic backdrop, with the cascading waters of Buttermilk Falls State Park drawing visitors into its scenic trails. The park’s main waterfall plunges 165 feet, providing a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Nearby, the shimmering waters of Cayuga Lake offer opportunities for kayaking, sailing, or simply enjoying a picnic on its shores. The Ithaca Commons, a pedestrian mall at the heart of the city, presents an array of local shops and eateries, allowing visitors to sample artisan cheeses or enjoy a coffee from a nearby café.
