Scenic waterfall

The South Hill Recreation Way is a great rail trail that follows an edge of the Six Mile Creek gorge. The trail is made of gravel and is mostly flat, so it is not too challenging.

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.

The Old Mill at Robert H. Treman State Park is a historic gristmill from 1839. It has three runs of stones designed for grinding buckwheat, wheat, and coarser grains. Today, the Old Mill has a small museum where visitors can learn about the area's history.

The Rim Trail Trailhead is where the Gorge Trail and Rim Trail begin. There is a parking area with restrooms and a drinking fountain.

The planet walk is a scale model of our solar system, spanning multiple streets and nice neighborhoods of Ithaca. The sun is in the center of Ithaca Commons, and there is a QR code you can scan to follow along and find the other planets. The audio tour is narrated by Bill Nye.

The Commons is a couple streets only open to foot traffic with sculptures, restaurants, a playground, historic district, and more. It has everything you could want from a downtown. There don't seem to be any places to lock your bike but you can walk it through the commons.

This paved bike path takes you from the edge of Cornell University just over a mile to Game Farm Road. The path parallels Cascadilla Creek and is in the trees almost the whole way. This is a fantastic way to get out of town and into the green countryside east of Ithaca.
