The park gets its name from its main attraction the Taughannock Falls which is a 215 ft waterfall in the park. However there are many smaller cascades as you take the trail to see the Taughannock falls. Close to the park is the Cayuga lake with a marina and boat launch and you can see it from the gorge and rim trails in the park. #waterfalls #statepark #parks
