Taughannock Falls Overlook Visitors Center — Attraction in Town of Ulysses

They open when they want to… I had went recently on a small family trip with my boyfriend and his sister to see the falls. Silly me, I ended up misplacing my phone just before closing and this polite lady turned it in to the outlook center before I could locate it.(thanks again to her for being a good person.) Anyways, we decided to check the hours listed and came back the next morning when they should have opened… we sat there for 20 mins, no one showed up.🙃 no biggie, possibly whoever was just running late… we proceeded to wait 10 more minutes.

There is a trail that leads to the base of the falls, that we'll definitely be hiking during our next visit to the Finger Lakes. That trail starts from the park area by Cayuga Lake. There are trails that start from the overlook, but appear to be a rim trail. Check this place out if...

I didn't share pictures of the waterfall because there is no camera that can capture the experience. The beauty of the plunging waterfall from the overlook is transformative. I rode my bicycle there and because of time constraints I didn't hike to the bottom of the gorge. The place offered much more than I had anticipated. If you plan on visiting make sure that you carve out adequate time to hike and enjoy the full experience.
