River Description

Karl Gesslein says: "Taughannock is a beautiful little Class II-III creek in Trumansburg... It is a great run, but park rangers have asked me not to paddle it. It is a nice run in the Spring, especially after a big rain."

Lat/longitude coords are approximate, from Google Maps.
You better be scoutin this run (if you choose to ignore the rangers' wishes--there's no guarantee here of legal access!), so's you don't get washed over no 80-foot falls, y'hear???
The run from Podunk Rd. to Rte. 96 is much more commonly paddled.
