of Cayuga Lake. It is in the town of Ulyses (New York), 10 miles north west of Ithaca and 25 miles north east of Watkins Glen State Park. The name “Taughannock” comes from the Delaware Indians, referring either to chief Taughannock or the word taghkanic, meaning “great fall in the woods. The main cataract the falls has a huge drop of 215 feet (66) meters and is one of the highest east of Rocky Mountains. It is even higher than the Niagara Falls ( the American Side) by 33 feet. Although it is taller than Niagara, the volume of falls is significantly lower than Niagara Falls and it is not fair to compare with the behemoth of falls. The Taughannock creek pierces through the majestic rocks (as high as 400 feet) and falls 225 feet below providing visitors a spectacular view. This is the main attraction of the Taughannock Falls State Park and is best viewed by taking the .75 mile Gorge Trail which takes visitors to the base of the fall. More:
