Comments about this Hike

These waterfalls are located on New York State Land. These waterfalls are a rather boring cascade. They do not have a lot of water flow, and you cannot see from the top to the bottom. There are some drops that range from 1 foot high to 10 feet high. It is also difficult to hike up the sides of the ravine. You can access them from the Long Path or from the Snowmobile Trail.
