Chittenango Falls State Park is located in Madison County, New York east of Cazenovia Lake. The 167 foot waterfall cascades over roughly 400 million year old bedrock, flowing beneath a wooden bridge spanning the meandering Chittenango Creek. The park offers a variety of activities like picnic tables with pavilions, a playground, a nature trail, hiking, and fishing.
Approximately 57,000 visitors come to the Park each year to engage in a variety of outdoor recreational activities. Although many camping guides still mistakenly list it as a campground, the park's campground was closed in the mid-2000s. It is also home to the endemic and endangered Chittenango ovate amber snail (Novisuccinea chittenangoensis).

All in our gowns of green so gay
Into the Park a-maying!”
