Robert H. Treman Upper Gorge Trail
Trail distance: 0.62 miles
Difficulty level(s): moderate
A continuation of the Gorge Trail through Enfield Glen allows visitors to experience more cascading waterfalls, as Enfield Creek cascades toward the Cayuga Inlet. The Upper Gorge Trail is the shortest route from the Upper Park Trailhead to Lucifer Falls. Considered a moderate hike due to several impressive sets of stone staircases and elevation change. The Lucifer Falls Overlook features a spectacular view of Enfield Creek cascading 115 feet down the gorge. Other viewpoints along the trail allow a look nearly a mile-and-a-half toward the lower gorge. The Upper Gorge Trail links with the Gorge and Rim Trails offering an opportunity for a loop hike.
