Nice job on the Taughannock Falls page. This is what is needed for all the parks that have waterfalls.
State park rules and regulations are meant to make the park safe for all visitors. Section 375.1 (i) of the park rules and regulations which relates to prohibited activities states in part: “Use of Established Ways. No person shall use other than trails, overlooks, roads and other ways established and provided for the public use by the office.”
Or to put it another way, you not allowed to walk in the stream bed. A friend of mine was walking the stream bed and was arrested for trespassing. His english is not that good and I think he misunderstood the officer when asked to return to the trail. Like the park brochure mentions "Please stay on designated trails."
I know the 20 foot high falls, located on the tributary between the Upper Falls and Falls Road bridge, as Cold Spring Branch Falls.
