Lower Falls, also called Enfield Falls, is a 70-foot cascade on Enfield Creek in Robert H. Treman State Park near Ithaca. From Ithaca take Route 13 south about 5 miles to Route 327, then go about a quarter mile to the lower park entrance and park. A short, accessible trail leads to the swimming area directly below the falls. The longer Gorge and Rim trails continue up the glen toward Lucifer Falls.
