Fillmore Glen State Park is a 941-acre state park located in the Finger Lakes region of New York adjacent to the Village of Moravia in Cayuga County.

The trails and infrastructure at Fillmore Glen were created and enhanced by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. Stone-walled paths, numerous bridges that crisscross the oddly named Dry Creek, and stone staircases are all beautifully and thoughtfully blended with the stunning natural setting.

The first falls, sometimes called Cowsheds Falls or simply First Falls, are easily accessible while the other parts of the gorge are only reached after a brief but steep climb. After the initial climb, the trail through the gorge is relatively flat and easily negotiated. Further along the gorge are several stunning smaller cascades and waterfalls that culminate with the tallest falls, Dalibarda Falls, followed shortly after by Upper and Lower Pinnacle Falls. These last pair of waterfalls lies in a visually striking square-cut section of the gorge near the terminus of the gorge trail.

The park is named after the 13th president of the United States, Millard Fillmore.
