Horseshoe Falls on Fall Creek is a compact, horseshoe-shaped cascade framed by steep gorge walls and mature trees—dramatic in spring runoff and autumn color. No fee; accessible via Cornell campus trails and the pedestrian bridge near 774 University Ave. Weekday mornings or after rain offer higher flows and fewer people. Surfaces can be slippery; limited roadside parking and campus lots nearby. Best at sunrise or blue hour for soft side-light and long exposures.
