New York Surrounding Tours: Watkins Glen State Park

🌻 During the pandemic, give yourself a break! Drive north for three and a half hours from New York City to Watkins Glen State Park in the Finger Lakes region of New York State. This park opened in 1863 as a privately managed tourist area. In 1906, the New York State government purchased it, making it a state park. 🌈 The park's core is a gorge carved by Glen Creek, reaching a depth of 120 meters. It was originally formed during the Ice Age, as the main and tributary glaciers flowed over the rocks, gradually eroding them into a staggered gorge. The water flowing over these rocks of varying heights creates rapids and waterfalls. 🍃 The entire tour takes about two hours, allowing you to experience the gorge's refreshing coolness and the otherworldly beauty of this natural wonder! 💧 Admission is free 💧 Opening hours: Monday to Sunday, 09:00–19:00 💧 During the pandemic: Public transportation facilities inside the park, such as cable cars, are closed.
