A little park history. Watkins Glen State Park consists of 19 waterfalls, glimmering pools, naturally carved rock, and many spectacular views. During the ice age glaciers carved out much of the Finger Lakes area. When the glaciers melted about 10,000 years ago, they left in their wake gorgeous lakes, waterfalls and gorges dominating the area. Watkins Glen State Park is located at the bottom of Seneca Lake. The park has seen different phases in its life time. There was once a flour mill at the bottom that was powered by a water wheel. The park was also privately owned by Morvalden Ells who operated it as a tourist resort. In 1906 New York State purchased the land and made it into a park. Last year they celebrated their centennial. The Glen Creek flows through two ponds in the upper region of the park before filtering into the gorge. The amazing gorge features a couple of different trails. The main trail called the “Gorge Trail” is 1 ½ miles long. The Gorge Trail walks you alongside the water gushing through the carved rock, under waterfalls and through tunnels that were hand cut into the rock. AT PEAK SEASON AND TIMES A FEE IS CHARGED TO PARK IN THE GORGE. TWO WAYS TO AVOID THIS. BUY AN EMPIRE PASS. THIS WILL GET YOU INTO MOST STATE PARKS IN NEW YORK FOR ONE SEASON. -OR- PARK ON NEARBY STREETS AND WALK INTO THE PARK.
The tabes are located just inside the south park entrance. The tables we where told where constucted in the 1940s by the Park services.

Take a break and enjoy the park and the stoned tables.
Since we live out side the state
Evil Monkey 3 has graciously volunteered to watch over and attend to this catch if it needs attention that we would not be able to get to in a timely manor.
