Fun Facts
Trail Info
Today, Six Mile Creek is Ithaca's source
for drinking water but a century ago its
falls were harnessed for power. Beauty
and history are highlights at Businessman's
Lunch, a.k.a. Wells Falls, where the creek
tumbles 65ft in four drops against the
backdrop of an old millwork.
View falls from Giles St. bridge or a
short hike on Six Mile Creek Trail.
0.2mi. Easy
Open year round, but often impassible in winter due to ice.
