While it’s far from the tallest Ithaca waterfall, the Lower Falls at Robert H. Treman State Parkis definitely one of my favorites in the region. While this is an impressive waterfall in its own right with a 30-foot drop, what makes this waterfall so great is its unique look. The water here falls off in a semi-circular fan shape, as the orange rocks...
