Food Scene
If you're in Trumansburg this is a cute, small (only a few tables but you can call ahead and take to go enjoy at the park!) café that I highly recommend. Everything is excellent. The BTE is my favorite breakfast staple!

Parks & Nature
Make sure to visit the overlook for some amazing photos of the 215 ft waterfall! The gorge trail is an easy walk to the base of the falls, or if you want a more challenging hike then I recommend the rim trails - they are less crowded and you can get some nice views of the falls.

This is my favorite park to visit. There are charcoal grills and picnic tables, and while swimming isn't technically allowed, you can swim here as long as you are being respectful. It's far less crowded than Taughannock, and it's smack dab along the Seneca Wine Trail!
