Treman Falls
Ithaca and Tompkins County, gateway to the Finger Lakes
Five hundred generations ago, glaciers a mile high surrendered to a landscape of crystal lakes, jagged gorges and thundering waterfalls. Today the view is green with vineyards and farms. It’s lush with gentle hills and wild forest. It’s lively with villages and energized by people who love the sights, sounds and flavors of a region still unspoiled.
Ithaca is in the heart of the Fingerlakes Region in central New York State, four hours from New York City, three hours from Niagara Falls, two hours from Rochester and four hours from Philadelphia. Ithaca is famous for its many waterfalls, more than 100 within 10 miles of downtown. If you put them all together, it’s a waterfall 7,342 feet tall. That’s 1.39 miles of falling water. Famous Ithacans include: “Roots” author Alex Haley, astronomer Carl Sagan, television writer Rod Serling, and former World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz.
We have a local regional airport and our own bus system called TCAT. Syracuse, Elmira and Binghamton all have their own airports as well and are about an hour from Ithaca. More information is available on the Tourist Board website, Visit Ithaca.com
