Trail description

Getting There

Location: Robert H. Treman State Park, Ithaca, New York

Trailhead Access: Multiple trailhead options exist within the park. The main access points include the lower parking area near Lower Falls and the upper parking area near the rim trail entrance. Use mapping tools or the park website to identify the specific trailhead for your chosen route (Gorge Trail, Rim Trail, or loop combination).

Directions: Download offline maps before your visit, as cell service can be unreliable in canyon terrain. Plan to arrive early, especially on weekends and during peak season, as parking fills quickly.

Parking: Limited parking at trailhead. An early start is recommended for both parking availability and better canyon lighting.
