Part of the beauty of the upper part of Robert Treman State Park

Robert Treman State Park is located just south of the town of Ithaca, on Route 327 (just off of Route 13) and is one of the most attractive natural areas in all of New York. The lower entrance offers trail access (there are over 4 miles of trails in the park), a life-guarded swimming area in the basin of one of the waterfalls (with a diving board), and the main camping area of the park. There is a second entrance, the upper entrance, just a bit further down Route 327 which offers access to an historic old mill and the same trails that are accessible from the lower entrance. If you don’t feel like making the 4.5 mile round-trip hike, there is a short, 1/2 mile loop at the upper entrance that will take you by Lucifer Falls, the tallest falls in the park with some truly breath-taking views of Enfield Glen (the historic name of the area the park now encompasses).

Hiking, swimming, history, geology, photo-opportunities aplenty – Robert Treman State Park is a must-see for all visitors!!
