One of our favorite places in Ithaca. We go back over and over with the change of seasons, the park shows off its natural beauty. Picnicking is delightful and there is swimming in the summer. A must see park in Ithaca!
This park has been around for years and years. As a 70+ person, I can remember this park as Enfield Glen as a child and it is still a great park. At the bottom of the stream is a wonderful swimming pool fed directly by a wide waterfall and a large campling and picnic area while the paths to the top of the park are a challenging but scenic hike to another picnic area. As a New York State park, entry is free but parking does cost. Located just a couple of miles south of Ithaca, access to the park is very easy.
Best place to cool off on a hot day! The hike is absolutely breathtaking and the swimming area is at the base of the gorge.
This was a wonderful surprise. We starting visiting the Finger lakes 4 years ago. We have been to The Gorge at Watkins Glen & it's beautiful. This year we thought we'd branch out to Ithaca SO GLAD WE DID.. I think I like this more. We were going to start at the bottom & hike the 2 1/2 miles but we decided (wimped out after a breathless 1/2 mi straight uphill) to drive to the upper lot & hike the 1/2 mile gorge trail SO AMAZING!!!
Robert Treman State Park is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. I go there regularly and can't get enough of the spectacular waterfalls and gorgeous hiking trails.
Want to feel like you are in Tahiti right here at home? Visit Robert Treman State Park in the Fingerlakes region of upstate New York. The gorge hosts fantastic waterfalls, ferns dripping with crystalline water, hummingbirds flitting from flower to flower. Walk through eons of sculpted rock while viewing pools of deep clear water shaped like puzzle pieces. Dip your toes in and feel lost in a world only native Americans knew. Then head over a short distance to the Ithaca Beer Company's fabulous tasting room for a cool one!
This park is simply splendid. But also one of the harder hikes locally. The upper trail is great once you get up there - woodsy and peaceful . The gorge trail is rough, up and down a lot and hard work. Beautiful cabins I want to try. Visit both ends.
Visited last summer with my cousin. Hiked all day between Robert Treman and Buttermilk Falls (Parks are connected with a trail or just drive two miles down the road and park at Buttermilk Falls). A great day trip especially with kids. Pack a lunch and bring water and you'll have a great time! There is a fee to park your car, like all NYS parks, but ticket is good for Robert Treman and Buttermilk Falls!
Picturesque and must visit if you are in Ithaca. Make sure you are wearing the right shoes as the terrain can be steep at places and have your drinks and energy bars handy as it is a relatively long hike. Rest enjoy the view and the experience...
This is beautiful, special place that characterizes the beauty of Ithaca. Go there any time of year!
