Chittenango Falls State Park
Chittenango Falls State Park is a 193-acre (0.78 km2) state park located in Madison County, New York,[2][5] east of Cazenovia Lake. The park features a 167-foot (51 m) waterfall that cascades over roughly 400-million-year-old bedrock. At the bottom of the falls Chittenango Creek flows underneath a wooden bridge.[6] The park offers a variety of activities including picnic tables with pavilions, a playground, a nature trail, hiking, and fishing.
Approximately 45,000 visitors come to the park each year to engage in a variety of outdoor recreational activities.[4] Although many camping guides still mistakenly list it as a campground, the park's campground was closed in the mid-2000s.
Chittenango Falls State Park is also home to the endemic and endangered Chittenango ovate amber snail (Novisuccinea chittenangoensis).[6]
Chittenango Falls once marked the boundary between the lands of the Oneida people and the Onondaga people. In 1784 the Oneidas called it “a Place where the Water runs over a Ledge of Rocks” when explaining their homeland’s boundaries to commissioners from New York.[7]
