Central Cascade - Watkins Glen State Park - Watkins Glen, New York - Waterfalls on Waymarking.com

Central Cascade and Glen of Pools - Central Cascade,
plunging more than 60 feet, is the highest waterfall in the
gorge. Above this waterfall, the trail crosses the creek on a
scenic bridge where you will find a panel that highlights the
Glen of Pools area. Stop here to discover how the creek forms
deep and rounded “plunge pools” or “potholes.”

"Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks, with a reputation for leaving visitors spellbound. Within two miles, the glen's stream descends 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, generating 19 waterfalls along its course. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade. Rim trails overlook the gorge. Campers and day-visitors can enjoy the Olympic-size pool, scheduled summer tours through the gorge, tent and trailer campsites, picnic facilities and excellent fishing in nearby Seneca Lake or Catherine Creek, which is renowned for its annual spring run of rainbow trout.

In 2015, the park was chosen from more than 6,000 state parks across the nation as a nominee in the USA TODAY Readers' Choice Poll for Best State Park in the United States, and won third place!"
