I have jumped the fence and stood in the water at the edge. The view was amazing. This is a beautiful shot.

I have done that a couple times. Never will again though. As I was standing as close to the waterfall as one can get, a series of rocks began falling and landing all around me. My friends and I were lucky to not get hit by any.

So yeah, the signs are there for a reason.

I think the signs got put up after someone got killed by a rockfall.

I believe it! I felt incredibly dumb after my own experience there. Very nearly watched a friend die there.

As someone who works with the NYS parks staff (not just there at Taughannock, but in other state parks), I thank you for not making their lives more difficult. :)
