The town of Ithaca, in the Finger Lakes Region is blessed with many magnificent waterfalls right within the town. The imposing Ithaca Falls is a 150 foot tall and 175 foot wide lush waterfall and can be seen from the street. After parking in the adjacent lot, it is just a short walk on an unpaved flat path alongside the flowing water. 

Ithaca Falls is the most powerful waterfall in the area and swimming is prohibited. The waterfall is open all year round.

In the 1800s there were a few mills getting power from the waterfall. Some of the ruins can still be seen on the south bank.
