🚶 About this Walk
Chittenango Falls is especially spectacular in the spring, when seasonal rains feed the creek and the waterfall is at its most powerful.
Walkers can choose from several trail options, including:
- A gorge trail leading to the base of the falls (more challenging, but very rewarding)
- Additional moderate trails throughout the park
- Flexible routes depending on your pace and comfort level
You decide how far and where you walk—there’s something for everyone.
🐕 Dogs are welcome but must be cleaned up after.

Chittenango Falls State Park is a 193-acre park in Madison County featuring a dramatic 167-foot waterfall cascading over ancient bedrock.
With multiple short trails and scenic overlooks, the park offers a variety of ways to explore and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
