If you are looking to take a spring road trip, a great destination is to take a drive along the Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway, which has been voted one of the 10 Great All American Road Trips. It's an 87 mile long loop trail. start at the north end of Cayuga Lake, off Route 5 & 20, and head down the west side of the Lake on Route 89, where you will pass numerous wineries and beautiful scenery.
Be sure to stop at Taughonnock Falls to view the 215 foot tall waterfall. You can either view it from the overlook parking lot upper viewing area or if you are ambitious, park in the lower parking lot (paid lot) and hike the easy .75 flat hiking trail to the base of the falls.
After viewing the falls, continue driving through Ithaca (lots to see and do here, more about it in future blog posts.) Then head up the east side of the lake to get back to your starting point.
