About This Trail

Imported description
The Watkins Glen State Park is not open in the winter. The Finger Lakes region has many parks, most of them in New York. The glen features a stream with many waterfalls that you can see from the hiking trails. A trail that goes past Glen Creek and the waterfalls, provides a great view of the Gorge and State Park, as well as a trail through Cavern Cascade, the best state park. The South Rim Trail gives a good view of the gorge. In the middle of the gorge, a swimming pool with an olympic-sized swimming pool, guided hikes, lunch, and camping in tents and trailers, can be found.
