Businessman's Lunch Falls on Six Mile Creek

Businessman's Lunch Falls is a set of four cascading falls - 30ft, 5ft, 15ft - and is a popular lunch spot for downtown office workers. No fee. Swimming prohibited. Dogs are allowed on leash. Fun Facts: Today, Six Mile Creek is Ithaca’s source for drinking water but a century ago its falls were harnessed for power. Beauty and history are highlights at Businessman’s Lunch, a.k.a. Wells Falls, where the creek tumbles 65ft in four drops against the backdrop of an old millwork. Trail Info View falls from Giles Street bridge or a short hike on Six Mile Creek Trail. 0.2mi. It is an easy trail to walk. Open year round, but often impassible in winter due to ice. Directions from Ithaca Follow Rt. 79 east from the Commons 1mi and turn right on Giles St. Turn left into the trailhead parking area marked Mulholland Wildflower Preserve, just before the bridge.
