Watkins Glen State Park: Carved by Time
Located in the Finger Lakes region of New York, Watkins Glen State Park is famous for its deep gorge, 19 cascading waterfalls, and dramatic cliffs formed by glacial meltwater over 10,000 years ago.
Originally home to the Seneca people, the area became a public tourist attraction in the mid-1800s. The park was privately operated as a resort before becoming part of the New York State Park system in 1906. Today, it’s considered one of the most beautiful and accessible natural sites in the Northeast, drawing hikers, nature lovers, and photographers from around the world.
Niagara Falls: A Natural & Cultural Icon
Niagara Falls, located on the U.S.-Canada border, is one of the most famous waterfalls in the world. Formed over 12,000 years ago during the last Ice Age, the falls are a result of melting glaciers that created the Great Lakes and Niagara River. The falls consist of three main parts: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls.
Throughout history, Niagara Falls has been a destination for explorers, honeymooners, and daredevils. In the 19th century, it became a symbol of the sublime in American literature and art. It was also one of the first locations in the world to harness hydroelectric power, thanks to innovators like Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, making it crucial to industrial history.
1000 Islands: Legacy of Legends & Luxury
The 1000 Islands region, located along the St. Lawrence River between northern New York and southeastern Ontario, is actually made up of 1,864 islands, not just 1,000. This area has long been the land of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy), who used the river system for travel and trade.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the region became a retreat for America’s elite, with opulent summer homes and castles, such as the famous Boldt Castle built by millionaire hotelier George C. Boldt. The area is now known for its mix of natural beauty, boating culture, and rich Gilded Age history.
