Two main waterfalls and 10 minor waterfalls flow through and into the deep and narrow 3 mile long Enfield Glen Gorge in Robert H. Treman State Park. The park is located in New York State in the towns of Enfield and Newfield, southwest of Ithaca.

The rugged, deep and narrow Enfield Glen Gorge has many scenic rock formations and a dozen waterfalls running through it. The Enfield Creek supplies the water as it falls, winds and twists its way through the pretty gorge.

Winding hiking trails take visitors and hikers up, down, around and through the gorge.

The falls here are not as numerous as in Letchworth and Watkins Glen state parks, but Treman State Park contains the 115 foot high Lucifer Falls.

Lucifer Falls is in the western part of the park and can be reached directly from the gorge trail. The south rim trail offers excellent overlooks of Lucifer Falls. Visitors who do not mind wet feet can hike right up to the base of the falls.

The other main waterfalls in Treman State Park is the Lower Falls of the Enfield Glen. Sometimes also referred to as Treman Falls, Lower Treman Falls or simply Lower Falls. This waterfall is located near the east entrance to the park at the mouth of the Glen. Swimming is allowed in the pool at the base of the Lower Falls, complete with a diving board and life guard.

From the Lower Falls parking area one can take the 2.2 (one-way) mile long gorge trail which winds its way up the glen past Lucifer Falls, an old mill and the other smaller waterfalls in the park.

Robert H. Treman State Park is open all year round but only the Lower Falls is accessible in winter. The park can be reached from route 327, just west of routes 12, 34 and 96.
