Watkins Glen State Park

Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks, with a reputation for leaving visitors spellbound. Within two miles, the glen’s stream descends 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, generating 19 waterfalls along its course. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade. Rim trails overlook the gorge. Campers and day-visitors can enjoy the Olympic-size pool, scheduled summer tours through the gorge, tent and trailer campsites, picnic facilities and excellent fishing in nearby Seneca Lake or Catherine Creek, which is renowned for its annual spring run of rainbow trout.

They must have a real problem with crashes on the Wine Trail NY 414. 🍷

I see this year that they have posted literally every mile along there a caution sign that reads:

Watch for Turning Vehicles
Wineries

And they’ve reduced the speed limit to 50 mph.

Then again I can see the problem. Once or twice I’ve come over one of the many blind hills, barreling along at sixty miles per hour, slammed on my brakes as there is a driver going like 25 mph, eyes glazed over wondering if they should do one more wine tasting before before sloshing their car back to their motel room.

There is probably a reason why Cayuga and Schuyler Counties lead the state in per capita drunk driver crashes.
