Andromeda Dickey: Such an open park, lots of parking and spaces to sit, I saw a walking path and playgrounds. My kids would have loved this park! The lake is breathtaking too. Especially with the mountains in the background. Its a good place for a picnic or just to hang out!
Tim Surfield: One of my favorite places to hike and swim. Swim was closed when we went but love the fact you can climb on the waterfall face. Trails are well maintained but rim trail has a steep climb with lots of steps best to go down rim trail from the top of park. Gorge trail has lost a few viewing areas due to growth of vegetation since I started visiting here over the past 30+ years. Wish they still had the area at the front to drive through the water to get to camping area. Lots of childhood memories playing down there.
Christine Medina: As a Floridian, its hard to wrap my head around how this gorge goes through the town and the college campus. It was a very beautiful trail that had wonderful sights. I felt very relax although my used-to-being-at-sea-level self struggled on the stairs back up from the gorge. This trail did not disappoint! There are many areas where you can choose to stop and recharge.
Mary McDaniel: Wells Falls was our first walk in Ithaca and it didnt disappoint. You must be careful and able to do a little bit of scrambling. The view from the falls area is remarkable with the old buildings there. A short but steep downhill walk to the bottom of the gorge was well worth it. You are near the road, but it feels as though you are in a very remote area. Really cool spot.
Dylan Dingler: This is great place to take both young and old. The times Ive been there have been very pleasent. The garden is nice to look at and all of the little things in and around it are entertaining. Children are often playing games or just walking through with their parents. I recommend the Ithaca childrens garden to people with children in their lives and or just people that have an inner child.
Jo Klein: Great exhibits, I learned a lot and you can tell the staff really care about their mission.
I found their website to be intuitive and easy to navigate, with hours and location at the bottom of almost every page on the site and right at the top of "plan your visit," above parking and transportation info, where Id expect it to be.
Mike Z: Beautiful suspension bridge can be accessed via stairs close to Herbert Johnson’s museum. However the falls are right under the bridge and the falls you can see from it are Rocky falls. Safety net is encasing the whole bridge, so opportunities for taking good pictures of the gorge are limited.
Eva Milstein-Touesnard: I go here all the time with my friends. It’s is beautiful and open to anyone. Swimming there is difficult because of the huge rocks which are slippery and jagged so it’s hard to enter the water. However, most people make it work and we manage to get our paddle boards and floaters in. Also, the large rocks on shore which are great for hanging out and sunbathing and there a grassy area and small pavilion.
