A compact gorge-and-river trail linking Keuka Lake to the outlet creek—photograph tumbling falls, mossy boulders, wooden bridges and vibrant fall foliage. Best light is low sun during golden hours and after rain when waterfalls swell. Trails are mostly easy to moderate; parking in Penn Yan and trailheads off Route 54A. No permit required; weekdays or early mornings reduce hikers in frame. Winter offers ice formations but brings slippery conditions.
