Sentry Bridge, Watkins Glen State Park, Watkins Glen, New York

Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks, with a reputation for leaving visitors spellbound. Within two miles, the glen's stream descends 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, generating 19 waterfalls along its course. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade. Rim trails overlook the gorge.

Tunnels in the gorge were hand-cut into the rock in the early 1900’s. As you emerge from the tunnel onto Sentry Bridge, peer through the hole cut in the rock on your right. In the mid 1800’s, water behind a dam passed through this tunnel, down a wooden trough, and over the waterwheel of a flour mill in the Main Entrance.
