Ithaca Falls, Natural waterfall in Ithaca, United States.
The waterfall cascades down 150 feet with a width of 175 feet, creating multiple irregular drops along Fall Creek near Cornell University.
The falls powered the Ithaca Gun Company factory from 1880, manufacturing firearms that gained national recognition during both World Wars.
The area holds significance for the Cayuga Indians who inhabited the region before European settlers arrived after the American Revolutionary War.
Visitors can reach the falls through a quarter-mile gravel trail from the parking area, with the best viewing spots located at the base.
The falls contain remnants of an old dam at the top, marking the industrial heritage when the water flow generated power for local factories.
