Ithaca sits at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes, a college town defined by Cornell University and Ithaca College and by the deep gorges and waterfalls that cut through the city. Cornell’s research enterprise, spanning engineering, agriculture, veterinary medicine and hotel administration, draws faculty, visiting researchers, startups and investors, and the university calendar brings a steady flow of prospective students, parents and alumni. The Ithaca Commons, the farmers market and a strong local food culture give the town its own character.
Ithaca is fairly remote, about four and a half hours by car from New York City, with limited airline service. Flying private into Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, a few miles from campus, makes campus visits, reunions and research meetings far easier, and lets families arrive for move-in or graduation weekend on their own schedule. Leisure travelers come for the Cayuga Wine Trail, Watkins Glen and the gorge trails at Taughannock Falls and Robert H. Treman state parks, all within a short drive.

Things to do in Ithaca
When to go. Late spring through fall is Ithaca’s best season, when the gorge trails are open and the waterfalls are at full force in spring. Summer is warm and green, ideal for swimming, sailing and winery visits. Fall brings harvest and bright foliage around Cayuga Lake, plus homecoming weekends. Commencement in late May fills every hotel in the region, so book early. Winters are cold and snowy, and some gorge trails close for safety.

Cornell University
The hillside campus overlooks Cayuga Lake and offers the Cornell Botanic Gardens, the Johnson Museum of Art, views from Libe Slope and paths through Cascadilla and Fall Creek gorges.
