Take this delightful one minute trip through the gorge and waterfalls at Watkins Glen State Park at the south end of Seneca Lake in New York State's Finger Lakes Region. The narration is selected from our award-winning book, A WALK THROUGH WATKINS GLEN: WATER'S SCULPTURE IN STONE, published by Owl Gorge Productions, http://owlgorge.com, which also produced this short video. Check out our blog, WALK IN THE PARK, at http://walkinpark.com, for other videos and posts about parks. This is episode #3 in our Park Minute series. The narrative in this video is below: "The ravine called Watkins Glen is cut into the steep hillside on the west flank of the Seneca Lake valley. It is a beautiful break in the skin of the earth, where a stream has sliced through hundreds of feet of ancient rock layers. For thousands of years, Glen Creek has roared and whispered through its confines, slowly deepening the rugged throat of rock and shaping its ledges, pools, and waterfalls. With its cave-like gorges, fern-draped cliffs, and splashing waterfalls, Watkins Glen is a sensory delight."
