Description

Added by Brian Maley

Frost Ravine is a small, beautiful creek that falls off the slopes of Mount Pleasant in Ithaca, NY. The gentle, winding cascade creates a number of small, stunning waterfalls. It is very rewarding for a reasonably short hike.

On Mount Pleasant Rd. look for the natural area signs posted in the woods near the map pin. Follow the signs to the trail blazes that lead into the ravine. The trail slopes down to the water where you can explore up and down the ravine with relative ease.
