The Finger Lakes are very deep (up to 400') because they were carved out by glaciers. Much of the rock here is limestone and shale, which makes beautiful gorges and waterfalls in most of NY State. The rock layers experienced uplifting at some point, which fractured the rock in straight lines and right angles. It's evident where the rock breaks off.

We avoided the waterfall.
