South Parking to Watkins Glen Gorge Trail
COVID-19:
When hiking during the coronavirus outbreak, look for trails with
empty parking lots
to reduce the risk of exposure to yourself and fellow hikers. Hike smart and avoid crowded trails.
Waterfall
Dogs (leashed)
This short 0.8 mile out-and-back hike takes you from the south entrance parking lot down to the Watkins Glen Gorge Trail. You can also connect with the Indian Trail at the end of this one as well. Follow signs labeled "Gorge Trail" to find the main attraction.
We followed the trail over the suspension bridge, then down the Indian Trail to the Point Overlook. From Point Overlook, take the stairs down to the Watkins Glen Gorge Trail.
Dogs are allowed on these trails, but not the Watkins Glen Gorge Trail.
