Fillmore Glen State Park is an oasis of cool, dense woods crowding into a long, narrow gorge.  You will feel the temperature difference from the parking area to the swimming area and even more in the gorge.

The hiking trails offer spectacular views, unique geological formations, including numerous waterfalls, and a botanically rich glen. The park has 60 campsites, a stream-fed swimming pool and fishing in the Owasco Lake inlet. In the winter, hiking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are permitted on unplowed roads. 

Directions
* NY 38, one mile south of Moravia.  South of Owasco Lake.
