Buttermilk Falls State park is located on the outskirts of Ithaca along Highway 13. A series of 10 waterfalls drops the Buttermilk Creek more than 600 feet with the water eventually finding its way to Cayuga Lake. Between the waterfalls, pools are formed. At the entrance to the park, swimming is allowed in the pool at the bottom of the falls.
There are several trails to hike. We took most of the Gorge Trail, which is a ½-mile trail with some steep climbing. It stays alongside the river past several falls and pools - very nice and peaceful.
This a great place to stop for 3-4 hours to enjoy a picnic and some hiking.
