>Ithaca Falls on Fall Creek in Ithaca is not as high, doesn't have as high free fall, but usually has a lot more water going over it.  Lit up at night in the winter, encrusted with ice, it is quite a sight.

Nice to have the memory.
I climbed the ice falls one day while truant from the nearby HS.
It was an altered experience.
I was curious to see inside the cave beneath Ithaca gun.

My favorite ice falls experience was visiting Niagara in January and in
the dark night the ice from the mist sloping down towards the fence at
the edge of the cliff was, to say the least, freaky.
We never got to see the mighty falls, we were so fortunate in our
sliding along on our buns, but you could hear it just fine.

Taughannock Falls is a neat one. Frontenac a few miles up the lake north
is were the BSA OA ceremony would be held with Cayuga indians, sort of,
standing on the cliffs either side of the falls chanting out slogans &
BS stuff. A wire from one cliff side going down to a stacked bonfire
they would light up a roll of toilet paper (I think it was TP) and send
it down the wire like a flaming arrow... or a flaming you know what...
and then the bonfire would light up. Great fun in bonfires! Reminds me I
want to go to Burning Man.
