New York Waterfalls

There's quite a bit to say about New York Waterfalls. Click on one of the following links to jump to the section you're interested in...





ABOUT THE FALLS

New York Waterfalls was one something we didn't really expect to see prior to visiting the state. However, we've been fortunate enough to see a piece of such nature - especially in the western and central regions of the state. Of course the biggest draw here is the granddaddy of them all - Niagara Falls - as well as some of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi such as Taughannock Falls in the Finger Lakes area.

Dominating the western side of New York is indeed Niagara Falls. However, not far away lies the Genesee River which sports an impressive collection of wide waterfalls (some of which even flow in the city of Rochester).

To the east in central New York lies the charming and tranquil Finger Lakes region. It is here that you'll find nostalgic colonial villages and wine trails nestled around impressive lakes as well as a nice collection of waterfalls that easily rival those in the western US in both size and character.

There's still more New York Waterfalls further upstate in places such as the Catskill Mountains and the Adirondacks. We hope to be able to go waterfalling in those regions in the near future as we begin to set our sights on more local waterfalls in North America.
