Welcome to winter in our parks. A picturesque waterfall is the main attraction of Chittenango Falls State Park! Glacial sculpting over 400 million-year-old bedrock is responsible for this scenic feature. An interesting variety of both plants and wildlife may be found along the trails. Visitors can view the falls from the top, walk the winding trail into the gorge view the falls from the footbridge and return to the top along the small trail on the opposite side of the gorge. Activities include fishing, hiking, picnicking and of course, geocaching.
Take a hike, take the kids to the playground, and find some geocaches. New York state has
really spiffed up the facilities and grounds here in the past year. It’s a far cry from 2010 when the state
proposed permanently closing Chittenango Falls and other parks due to budget issues.
There shouldn’t be much activity at this location over the winter months. You’re looking for a small
container taking shelter from the winter weather.
