Things to do in Ithaca

Ithaca sits at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes, a college town defined by Cornell University and Ithaca College and by the deep gorges and waterfalls that cut through the city. Cornell’s research enterprise, spanning engineering, agriculture, veterinary medicine and hotel administration, draws faculty, visiting researchers, startups and investors, and the university calendar brings a steady flow of prospective students, parents and alumni. The Ithaca Commons, the farmers market and a strong local food culture give the town its own character.

    The hillside campus overlooks Cayuga Lake and offers the Cornell Botanic Gardens, the Johnson Museum of Art, views from Libe Slope and paths through Cascadilla and Fall Creek gorges.

    Taughannock Falls drops about 215 feet, one of the tallest single-drop waterfalls east of the Rockies, reached by an easy gorge trail from the lakeshore.

    Held in a large timber pavilion on Cayuga Inlet, this cooperative market sells produce, cheese, prepared foods and crafts, and is a weekend institution.
