You can't go wrong here. Everything is amazing. If you're unable to get a table overlooking the water, take time before or after your meal to stroll outside by the water. They don't take reservations but you can call ahead to get your name on the list. I highly recommend this! They often have live music on the back deck so call ahead or check out their website.

Drinks & Nightlife
Check out their website for who might be playing. There's usually a cover charge but I've never been disappointed with the bands!

Parks & Nature
Great hike along the Rim trail. Intensity is moderate to difficult. Don't get discouraged by the initial climb up steps. There are plenty of places to rest and enjoy the water along the way. Bring water because the walk usually takes about an hour. Make sure you bring a camera because there are so many places to take great pictures!
There is a fee if you don't have a NY State Park pass but it's definitely worth it!

Great park with lots of climbing and access to water. Wear sneakers or water shoes that have a good tread because the steps can be a little slippery when wet (from the gorge). And be sure to bring your camera!

Great option if you aren't in the mood for a rigorous hike. Beautiful stroll on trail along side water OR walk in the water. Be sure to bring your camera for the great spots along the way as well as the shot in front of the waterfall at the end of the trail!
If you're in the mood beach time (or have children that want to go on a playground), walk across 89 to lake side of the park for an endless list of things to see and do.
