The Rim Trail, just about a mile long, leads visitors to breathtaking views of Buttermilk Creek as it drops 600 feet through a gorge on the eastern slope of the Cayuga Valley, at the southern edge of Ithaca. This trail is one of six featured in Buttermilk Falls State Park. The interconnected trail system has an earth surface marked with blue blazes. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful anytime.
