FOR FUN AT CHITTENANGO FALLS: Chittenango Falls State Park is a 193-acre (0.78 km2) state park located in Madison County, New York, east of Cazenovia Lake. The park features a 167-foot (51 m) waterfall that cascades over roughly 400-million-year-old bedrock. At the bottom of the falls the meandering Chittenango Creek flows underneath a wooden bridge. The park offers a variety of activities including picnic tables with pavilions, a playground, a nature trail, hiking, and fishing. Sit on one of the many wooden park benches under ancient shade maples. Wade in Chittenango Creek upstream and downstream of Chittenango Falls. Look over the edge! Hike to the bridge at the bottom on a short easy trail and stand on the wooden bridge—feel the mist on your face! Photographer’s dream. Walk on the many maintained trails through woods and fields. Hike to top of Cazenovia Ski Club for an al fresco picnic and spectacular views. Rent some of my kayaks and go paddle around Cazenovia Lake.
