The New York Waterfalls page showcases the many waterfalls that we’ve personally experienced throughout the Empire State. As you can see in the waterfall map above, we’ve been fortunate enough to see so many of them that we have a legitimate list of favorite waterfalls on our Top 10 Best New York Waterfalls List.

Indeed, the New York Waterfalls feature way more than the famous Niagara Falls. And by pursuing the state’s many waterfalls all throughout upstate New York, we’ve gotten to experience the best of the nature within the state as well.

As you’ll find out from reading the waterfall write-ups that you can find on this page, some of the waterfalls in the state require hikes while others required scrambles, and the rest were quite easy to visit with little or no effort. So feel free to leverage our personal experiences for your own waterfall experiences or vacations to the state by checking out this section of the World of Waterfalls website, and let New York surprise you with its Nature through its waterfalls…
