Waterfall Name The name of the waterfall
or gully or creek. We've listed the primary name found on USGS topo maps in
the table but many waterfalls have local or unofficial names.
means you can drive a car pretty close.
means
this page is new since our last major update.
means that there is an animation or interaction on this page.
means we're not quite finished with this page.
Location Nearest town or lake
Height Estimated height of waterfall. Where there are multiple waterfalls in a gully, the combined height and the number of individual falls are given. We usually do not count waterfalls of less than 6 feet and we frequently count steep cascades. Also, we usually overestimate the height. Where our estimate differs substantially from the height listed in the Western NY Waterfall Survey, the latter height is shown in [square brackets].
Drive Driving distance and time measured from Twelve Corners, Rochester, NY 14618, using the Delorme Street Atlas quickest routing.
Hike Approximate time it took us to complete the hike. Were certainly not the fastest, but probably not the slowest, and generally dont worry too much about how long the hike is taking. See the individual hike reports for more details.
