Ithaca occupies the southern tip of Lake Cayuga, the longest of central New York's Finger Lakes. The city is home to Cornell University, which sits high above Cayuga's waters, on a beautiful 745-acre campus frequently sliced by streams and ravines. Interesting stops on campus include the Johnson Center for Birds and Biodiversity at the Lab of Ornithology, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, and the Cornell Plantations botanical gardens. The steep Finger Lakes terrain means more than 100 waterfalls can be found within 10 miles of downtown Ithaca, including Taughannock Falls, which drops 215 feet -- three stories taller than Niagara Falls. Numerous wineries are also found in the surrounding countryside.
