The village of Cayuga holds down the flat north end of its lake, where the outlet drifts toward the canal and nothing drops very far. Carpenter Falls is the nearest real plunge, 90 feet on the west side of Skaneateles Lake, a half-mile walk with dogs allowed. Oak Tree Falls takes two miles and 300 feet of gain. Silver Thread Falls, 80 feet, needs only three tenths of a mile. Thirty-two falls ring the village, and the biggest of them cluster toward the gorge country at the southern ends of the lakes.
