A nice place. Its a dam like falls cascading down. There is parking available. We couldnt stay in the place for long as it was raining heavily but a nice pedestrian bridge gives you a decent look at the falls.
Beautiful and accessible to all. We parked at the botanical gardens and walked the bebee lake trail and then the gardens with our dog. It is free after 5 and on weekends. But only 1.50 per hour at the gardens parking lot. Go on their site and they have a good map of falls and trails.
One pretty fall but the whole gorge is awesome
Spectacular falls on a campus. Love it.
Although the university campus of Cornell is very nice to visit, do not rely anymore on Google photos. The site has changed. it remains cute.
Nice waterfall visible from the bridge near the visitor center
Relaxing. Wildlife in this area. But too crowded. Meditated just fine
Stounding view, very peaceful. Not a hiking choice, go for walking and even stopping from time to time to enjoy the nature and listen to the geese calling each other
Located on the beautiful grounds of Cornell University. Easy to get to and quite stunning.
Really nice waterfall in the heart of the Cornell campus. Bridge over the gorge lets you get a really nice view of the falls. I took away the 5th star because the suicide prevention nets, although understandable as to why theyre there, do take away from the view. And also the fact that the falls are on the campus grounds, makes it a busy area so that factored in to the taking the star away. Even with those factors, its still a great spot to check out
So beautiful!!! Does meet up with the Ithaca falls which can get confusing
Great waterfall, but limited parking and crowded with students when schools in session.
Fenced off waterfall on campus of Cornell University. You can only see it from a bridge. There is no castle like building in the rock like on pictures which what made us curious to visit it in the first place. Still beautiful but not worth the trip considering all the other amazing waterfalls in the area.
Not marked well. Park at the colleges welcome center and walk behind it to get nice views from the bridge.
Embedded in the campus. Not really aimed for tourists, but good for a quick afternoon visit.
These falls are amazing. Located at the doorstep of Cornell. Imagine a university campus that has waterfalls, upriver lake and deep gorges.The falls come into their own during winter. Place yourself on the pedestrian bridge and lose yourself to the cascading sounds for a blissful no-mind experience.
Beautiful and scenic place, although the falls arent as tall or majestic as some of the other ones in the area. There is a walk path behind the Martin Tang Visitor Center that takes you directly to a foot bridge, where you can see the falls up close. The outdoor balcony of the Visitor Center also has great views. And finally, there is a partially obscure view along the vehicular bridge (with a sidewalk) on Thurston Ave.
Loved the falls. A little disappointed that most of the stuff you see online doesnt tell you that the hydro-electric lab collapsed. Seeing it was part of the reason I added it to the trip.
Beautiful photo opp. Walk bridge and trails in several directions. Paid parking during peak weekday hours. I dont remember the exact schedule but it was free on Sunday and I think sign said free other days after 5pm. Great place to bring out of town guests.
Right on the Cornell.campus. Tough to find parking but a nice walk along the botanical gardens and over the bridge.
Beautiful. If your an avid hiker then this isnt exactly a hiking activity in itself. Trail is mostly steps going up can either go down the same way or a parallel trail. There a couple of spots where people were swimming throughout but there is a lifeguard and diving board and dog washing area at the base
Unlike most other falls in the nearby area, triphammer falls does not offer a great view for a tourist. However, that does not mean there is reason to skip it. The fall creates a deep gorge and is still beautiful. And the point of origin is a pool of water, much like a small lake. Rocks are dramatic and add to the overall natural charm to the place. Do not miss it as part of your overall waterfall hopping experience in Ithaca. Limited parking and the best view is actually from a nearby vehicle bridge.
Right on the campus of Cornell University, these falls are beatific. Theres a nice walking bridge over the falls to give you a full view of them.
Beautiful waterfall but i wish they had some sitting areas.
Beautiful falls visible from a foot bridge on the campus of Cornell University.
Good walk, but very crowded. Waterfall was just okay.
Interesting sight right in the Cornell University Campus area. Not to be confused with Taughannock Falls.
Nice falls. Accessible by wheelchair. Other falls in area are not accessible by wheelchair but this one is.
Not as thrilling as some of the other Falls in the area. Not easy to access for good viewing. Was in the Cornell campus so it was a nice drive.
Not much to do other than look at a waterfall public parking not marked kind of hard to find.
First time was in winter. Like all the ice and icicles. Right on Cornell campus which is also very pretty
This was the 2nd best to Ithaca fall, just because you were actually closer to the waterfall than the ones inbetween.YouTube 2RanDumb
You have to go there and see it by yourself. No any pictures will show you the view and feelings you have.
Taller than Niagara falls. It has family friendly walkway and views. Excellent weekend gateway.
Absolutely gorgeous walk, I mean just look at the pictures. Not much else to say about it lol
Nice view and nice trail nearby around water.
Beautiful waterfall, and natural area for a quick atop. Great photo opportunity.
Nice scenery but no restroom
A lovely falls you can see right on the beautiful Cornell university campus.
Beautiful park, amazing falls, easy to follow trails.
This was a rare disappointment for the Ithica area falls and parks...this fall is petty too look at..but thats it..you look at the fall and then you leave..no hike..no trail..no pathways
The famous school building fell down a few years ago but still a cool waterfall right in the middle of a college campus
My fav spot on the campus!
Pretty
40 year wedding anniversary trip. Scenic/historical part of New York.
Lovely trail in the middle of the town
Looked nice from the bridge. Wanted to go down there tho
Great falls close to Cornell.
Lovely
Hardly any parking .Only can see from bridge way too much traffic .
Great day trip for anyone in New York
Beautiful place to relax, walk or hike.
Beautiful waterfall. Nuff said
Beautiful, serene.

A stunning waterfall in the middle of campus. Short walk to the parking lot
Charming even in winter maybe more in cold winter but a special and powerful look
Evening
After the rain, the platform under the clock tower of Cornell University can be seen in the sea of clouds.
Great a nice walk to the falls

2022-06-17You can view the waterfall from the bridge. However, finding parking is a chore.

2020-10-11The falls are just ok. Difficult to get a good view point. The Cornell university area is nice though. Took abunch of fall pictures in the nearby area.
Review №3
2020-01-01The first of 5 falls along Falls Creek. The pedestrian footbridge near visitor’s center traverses the Beebe Lake dam and reveals a series of step cascades that lead down to the actual falls. Unfortunately one can not view Triphammer Falls from this bridge but the series of cascading steps and it funneling down to a central spillway is quite interesting. The best viewing platform for this falls is from sidewalk along Thurston Ave bridge.

2020-03-11Nice view, but parking can be a problem. No free parking, you would need to park in a reserved spot and quickly run and take your photos! 😀

2022-02-24It is a beautiful place with the water from the waterfall falling from Lake Bebe. Itakas specialty is that the surrounding trails are good and the sounds of Hong Kwan-jo and Park Sae are beautiful.

2019-10-17Located in the Cornell campus, this place is a beautiful spot to unwind!! Adjoining bebee lake, this falls is a must visit.

2020-10-20Nice quick pit stop for a Gorgeous view. Park in pay lot. Best scenic spot is up at the end of the bridge looking down. Hard to locate trails to venture down into the gorge.
Review №8
2017-09-28The building is now collapsed so it isnt as cool looking, but still beautiful looking. One fall is down the steps near campus and the other one with the collapsed building you can see by looking down on it from the bridge near campus. Parking is wonky because it has to be on campus.

2020-06-17We were visiting the area from out of town and spent an afternoon checking out the falls right in town. A local was kind enough to give us directions and said the falls werent much today, but we enjoyed them. I thought maybe she meant they were just a trickle, but they were better than that.
