Buttermilk Falls Warm Holiday Season 2023 Stock Photo

Buttermilk Falls State Park takes its name from the foaming cascade formed by Buttermilk Creek as it flows down the steep valley side toward Cayuga Lake. Buttermilk Falls State Park is a glacially formed gorge that features 10 waterfalls in total, with Buttermilk Falls being the main attraction. The nature trails in the park include Gorge Trail, which follows Buttermilk Creek as it cascades, dropping about 600 feet along the trail. Global warming has changed the cold, snowy weather expected during the holiday season.
