Ithaca College

4/5(5 reviews)

Explore the campus of Ithaca College, during your travels in South Hill. Discover the area's beautiful waterfalls and top-notch restaurants.

The grassy area beside the swimming area isn’t particularly large. It’s both in the sun and under shaded trees with picnic tables scattered. Many people lounge on towels or bring fold out chairs, content with location and not swimming while others jump in or simply dip their feet. The hiking trail along the fall takes you high and isn’t for those who dislike the stairs, but staying below isn’t half bad either. #hiking #waterfalls #upstateny #stateparks #swimmingholes
