Chittenango Falls State Park

About

Chittenango Falls State Park showcases one of New York's most impressive waterfalls, a 167-foot cascade plunging into a deep gorge carved through layers of ancient limestone. The park's wooded, generally flat terrain makes for accessible hiking along trails that offer multiple vantage points of the falls and surrounding gorge. This is strictly a day-use facility with no overnight camping. Visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, and picnicking, with a playground available for children. Two pavilions are available for day-use event rentals: the Overlook Shelter (capacity 25) and the larger Fairchild Shelter (capacity 100, ADA accessible). Both feature electrical outlets. The park operates sunrise to sunset, with a vehicle entrance fee of $5 charged from 7am to 7pm during the peak season (late May through Labor Day). Payment is accepted via automated pay station.
