Description
Watkins Glen State Park is located outside the village of Watkins Glen, New York, south of Seneca Lake in Schuyler County in the Finger Lakes region. The park's lower part is near the village, while the upper part is open woodland. It was opened to the public in 1863 and was privately run as a tourist resort until 1906, when it was purchased by New York State. Since 1924, it has been managed by the Finger Lakes Region of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Jacob's Ladder, near the upper entrance to the park, has 180 stone steps, part of the over 800 total on the trails
The centerpiece of the park is a 400-foot-deep narrow gorge cut through rock by a stream Glen Creek that was left hanging when glaciers of the Ice age deepened the Seneca valley, increasing the tributary stream gradient to create rapids and waterfalls wherever there were layers of hard rock.
Here we see a fine art photograph of Rainbow Falls, the most popular and photographed of the falls in the park.
