Taughannock Falls, Taughannock Falls State Park, New York. Photo: Larry McKee, L McKee Photography. PLEASE NOTE: This image comes in sizes 3x5, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, 24x30, 40x50. Pronounced Tuh-GAN-nick. The falls’ name is believed to have derived from the Algonquian Taconic (“in the trees”) or Taghkanic (after a Lenape chieftain killed in battle nearby). Taughannock Falls carves a 400-foot gorge through layers of sandstone, shale and limestone that were once the bed of an ancient sea. With a 215-foot plunge, this waterfall stands three stories taller than Niagara Falls.
