About Buttermilk Falls State Park: Buttermilk Falls State Park is a Finger Lakes treasure just southwest of Ithaca—home to the spectacular 165-foot Buttermilk Falls and one of the most dramatic gorge hikes in New York. As Buttermilk Creek cascades 600 feet through towering cliffs toward Cayuga Lake, it creates a series of 10 stunning waterfalls and natural swimming holes.
