Our family has a camp vacation here yearly. We take the extended family and two campsites and enjoy a week of tranquil beauty! The area is amazing, the Glen is incredible, the local restaurants are great, the Lake has plenty of activity. We enjoy all of the little nooks and crannies at the state park. They provide wood and ice for a fee, have lovely playgrounds, treat their visitors very well and provide wonderful campsites!

One of my most favorite places! It is a work out however. Lots of stairs to climb, but absolutely beautiful! Very easy to navigate! As long as you can follow a map you will be fine! Get ready to see lots of waterfalls!!

I would definitely go back here to hike again, however I would recommend doing it during the week... not the weekend. There were soo many people the paths were crowded with people taking pictures. On the bright side the views were quite beautiful

Went to Watkins Glen State Park as part of our visit to the Finger Lakes Area of New York State.What a wonderful experience. We walked the Gorge trail and wound our way around an intricate pattern of little water falls. It was stunning to say the least. Only creep thing was on the way back we went a little off trail and wound up on the perimeter of a cemetery that abridged the property of the State Park. We came upon a Vault above ground with a door that had been popped open. Needless to say we picked up our pace upon seeing this. Visions of zombies briefly crossed our mind but we finished the walk down intact!

Had everything you could want in terms of accessibility. People were very friendly. Great park for all ages to explore.

On our way back from Niagara Falls we decided to stop here. It was a two hour detour but totally worth it. A great hike I won't soon forget.

What a fabulous park!!! It is visually stunning!!What's so incredible is that it is right in downtown Watkins Glen and is so incredibly accessible there is not reason not to visit. Stone walkways, gorges, waterfalls, stunning cliffs. What's not to like and admire?Take time and walk this beautiful natural wonder. It is NOT to be missed. You will be in awe of its beauty.

We were driving along the Finger Lakes during a road trip when we saw this park and decided to stop by to investigate. We are so glad we did! This formation is stunning. We walked around the glen and explored the various caves and passages. There are definitely sections that are mucky, dark and wet so wear the appropriate footwear and clothing. But the beauty and grand power of the water moulding the rock is breathtaking. Parking can be tight and the washrooms are less than desired but what do you expect for a public attraction in the summer? We stopped by the gift shop at the end of our hike and bought a few items to document our trip. If we are ever in the area again we would stop and explore.

Drove 4.5 hours there and back on one Saturday with a good friend of mine just to get a glimpse of the supposed treasures hiding here. Thunderstorms cancelled our planned trip in late September and the next opportunity we had, we took, despite a forecast of showers in late October. Although it was pretty grey out, the waterfalls & vistas were STILL incredibly stunning. Most of the fall foliage ended up on the rock below and surrounding the water by the time we went but added some autumn color down below. The trail was very slippery (the rain earlier in the day contributed to this) and would really advise against wearing heels/shoes you don't want to ruin (saw a few women wearing heels--crazy). My friend and I agreed that driving a total of 9 hours in one day to spend 3-4 hours to hike the gorge trail and explore this gem was well worth it. Next time I visit, I would definitely stay at a nearby hotel or camp out if the weather is warm to spend a full weekend here. As a bonus, Seneca Lake (largest finger lake) was a 5 minute drive away from the main park entrance and was also sooo beautiful! For dinner, we opted to eat at Seneca Harbor Station which had food that was decent but nothing special and rather pricey. This park shows the true power and beauty of nature through the intricate carving of the gorge. Perfect day -- definitely recommend.
