Fillmore Glen State Park is a 941-acre (3.81 km2) state park[2] located in the Finger Lakes region of New York adjacent to the Village of Moravia in Cayuga County.

Park description

The primary attractions of the park are the hiking trails with views of a stream and five waterfalls, in addition to the swimming pond, made by damming the stream.[5] It also features a replica of President Millard Fillmore's boyhood log cabin, as the park is about five miles (8 km) from the former president's birthplace.[6][7]

The park offers swimming, picnic tables and pavilions, cabins, a campground with 60 tent and trailer sites, hunting and fishing, hiking, a playground, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing.[5]
