Watkins Glenn State Park



Watkins Glenn State Park is the oldest and most famous of the Finger Lakes parks. The Gorge Trail takes visitors through this "grotto like" valley past 19 waterfalls - some you even walk under - deep pools and water sculpted stone. There is a 500 foot change in elevation from the top of the gorge to the bottom. We opted not to take the kids - Roger & I went yesterday and Heather & I are going today. Better check the Advil supply, my calves are already talking to me! We took the trolley to the upper entrance and walked down the trail and it was absolutely gorgeous! Can't imagine the work it took to build the trail with steps and tunnels and stone railings.
