Chittenango Falls State Park NY 13035

This park was surprisingly walkable, with the falls being yards from the parking lots. We went this winter, and the river was nearly completely frozen over, but you could hear the roar of water beneath the ice. It was so beautiful with all of the snow around, and we spent maybe an hour exploring the accessible areas, because some trails were closed for the winter.

Chittenango Falls State Park is a gem! The main attraction is the gorgeous waterfall and river, and it’s absolutely worth the visit. The park has a nice playground with picnic tables and charcoal grills, plus plenty of grassy space to spread out and relax. There are bathrooms on-site, and while the parking lot is on the smaller side, it’s easy to navigate. A small entrance fee is paid at the machine, which is very convenient. There are only a couple of trails, but the waterfall makes up for it. One side of the trail is well-maintained with stairs leading down to the base, while the other side is a bit more rugged and adventurous, with a fun scramble over rocks. At the bottom, there’s a pretty little bridge and lots of spots where you can dip your feet in the water. Perfect for families or anyone looking for a peaceful nature escape. Highly recommend this park!
