We visited the Finger Lakes in Western New York over Memorial Day weekend and saw a number of beautiful waterfalls. Watkins Glen State Park is one of the most beautiful (and most visited) areas, but we also had a chance to explore some falls off the beaten path. Sharing some of my favorites. Thanks for looking.  On the Gorge Trail in Watkins Glen State   Excelsior Glen:  Not as good as the poncho picture from last year, but a fun one of Norah in Excelsior Glen:  Steve and Norah holding very still for me at Grimes Glen:  The Second Falls at Grimes Glen:  Eagle Cliff Falls at Havana Glen:   Steve in Tannery Creek:  |

Amazing pics!!!! Thanks for sharing! Adding another place to my to do list!! It's a fantastic place to visit! The scenery is beautiful and there are a number of points of interest (many of which we haven't seen yet - e.g. I want to visit the Women’s Rights National Historical Park in Seneca Falls). |

I live about an hour from where you were and the beautiful scenery is one of the reasons I love NY.

So beautiful, is this near Seneca Falls and day driveable from Rochester? Seneca Falls is the real Bedford Falls from Its A Wonderful Life, correct?

So beautiful, is this near Seneca Falls (the real Bedford Falls) and day driveable from Rochester? We were south of Seneca Falls (where I still have to visit), but I looked up from Rochester to Watkins Glen and it says 1 hr 40 minutes - doable for a day. We were in the Naples area too which is an hour from Rochester. The website nyfalls.com is awesome - check out this map of waterfalls in NY state: nyfalls.com waterfalls map |

I hadn't heard that before about Bedford Falls in the movie - looks like Seneca Falls was the inspiration from Googling. We haven't visited Seneca Falls yet - I would like to visit and particularly to take my daughter to the women's rights stuff there. |

Beautiful! I love taking waterfall pictures. Your slow shutter shots are gorgeous. Are you using a tripod or balancing your camera on conveniently placed bits of nature?

I also had a polarizer that helped (didn't need my filters as much since the lighting conditions were favorable when I was taking pictures). |

Thank you for the info and link in the other post, I will be visiting Rochester next summer and will be sure to visit. Those falls are beautiful and so different from what I am used to here in the PNW. Seneca Falls is really neat, the statues of the women were really interesting and cool. If you are a fan of Its A Wonderful Life check out the museum there. Small, but had some very cool memorabilia. When I was there last year I had a great conversation with the docent about Jimmy Stewart and the movie in general. He had all sorts of information about why it was likely the inspiration for Bedford Falls. |
