Parks & Nature
Walking distance to the house, the Watkins Glen State Park Gorge offers great hiking among the beautiful waterfalls. Walk past the 1 house (White & Yellow Abandoned) to the south and cross the street into the field. Walk across the field (beautiful view of the lake & site of the old Glen Springs Resort). You will come to a dirt road, across the road there is a trail that’s pretty obvious (I’ve marked it with a Yellow ribbon). Walk through the trail and come out on a road go uphill on the road just after the road curves to the right there is a dirt road to the left that takes you to the gorge trail. When you see the bridge and trail map you have arrived. 10 min walk.
