Picnicking at Taughannock Park

We arrived at Taughannock and the kids immediately were drawn to the rocks and the lake. This park is on Cayuga Lake, which is so beautiful. You can see parts of Cayuga Lake from Cornell's campus and on a clear day, it is really a sight. The rocks on the shore of the lake reminded the kids of Maine (and all the rock climbing there) so they were quite at home! It is such a huge park, there is a playground to rival the size of any other playground, a beach, a small marina, and then just huge expanses of green space with picnic tables, grills, and pavilions. I see us going up there many times in the future!! We had forgotten how nice Ithaca is and all there is to do. Next on our list is to hit some hiking trails or hike in some of the gorges. As they say, 'Ithaca is gorge-ous'.
