Lovely view. Excellent spot to choose the lookout.

One of the best views of a waterfall I've ever experienced. Would love to see this in different seasons.

Drive to the overlook to watch the fall. Then, go back toward the lake and enjoy the 1.5 mile trail to the fall and back!

We can drive straight to the view point. Better than hiking there. Take a left from viewpoint to reach base of the Taughannock falls

Very scenic falls. To get closer to the falls take the Gorge Trail which is an easy 1 mile hike.

It's not extraordinary. But good for a quick hike. We found the road to overlook more enjoyable. Try getting there early.

Looking at the waterfall from a distance, stop here for a while, mainly to visit Cornell University, and hurry home. In the future, I will have the opportunity to come back to get close to the waterfall!

For those who crave a panoramic view of the falls, the Taughannock Falls Overlook is a must-visit spot. Keep in mind that parking at this location is subject to a one-hour limit. It's a perfect vantage point to take in the awe-inspiring vista of the falls and create lasting memories.

One crucial aspect to remember is that Taughannock Falls remains accessible from dawn to dusk, disregarding the conflicting information on Google, which suggests a closing time of 6pm during the summer months. This extended accessibility ensures that you can savor the falls and the surroundings in the tranquil ambiance of dusk.

Gorgeous overlook of waterfall that you can drive to. I opted for this bc it was raining so I didn’t want to hike it and it was spectacular. Worth the stop. There is a bathroom and souvenir shop there as well but they weren’t open when I was there so I can’t speak to those.

Perfect view of an incredible waterfall. You can skip the hike and still capture a beautiful shot of the falls by stopping here. Why not visit?

Pretty, but not as spectacular as being close up. Nice to be able to drive, park
And take photos though.
