Buttermilk Falls — photo spot in 112 E Buttermilk Falls Rd, Ithaca, NY 14850, USA
Buttermilk Falls
Buttermilk Falls State Park offers a dramatic stepped gorge and multiple cascades framed by hardwoods — superb for long-exposure water shots, autumn color, and icy winter textures. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light; after rain flows are strongest. Trails include steep stairs and cliffside overlooks; parking available at upper and lower lots on Buttermilk Falls Rd (seasonal state-park parking fee may apply). Weekdays and early mornings minimize swimmers and hikers.
