As winter nears, some trails are closing in our state parks and at some other gorges that are publicly accessible in the Finger Lakes. At Taughannock Falls State Park, in the past, the trails on the rims of the canyon have closed for the winter because of dangerous icy stone steps. That appears to have been modified. The Gorge Trail, on the other hand, usually remains open through the winter.

The Upper Falls, about half a mile upstream from Taughannock Falls, is only visible from the old railroad trestle that crosses the gorge between the two rims and connects the rim trails.

Take a five minute trip with me on the North Rim and South Rim trails at Taughannock and find out about the new winter rules, in this second episode of my video series, “Gorges TV.”
