Crandall Falls

Drive down Crandall Falls Road for about 1.3 miles, and you’ll notice that the road starts getting a little rough.  There is a small parking area for anglers, and from here there is an obvious trail that leads to the river.  At one point the trail splits, but doubles back on itself so it doesn’t […]

Talcottville Falls, Sugar River Falls

To find this location keep your eye out for a bridge on Route 12D, and the path to the fall is between the bridge and Domser Road.  There is a short, steep dirt road leading down along the stream, just before the guardrail.  You can park here if your car can handle the incline, and […]

Shingle Mill Falls

  There are three falls, each with their own small but fairly deep pool at the bottom, but the top fall has the largest of the pools. The two lower pools give you a chance to sit under the falls themselves. After the falls the river takes a turn right, where it slows down and opens […]

Pixley Falls State Park

This is a “See” location; though kids were splashing in the falls, it is too shallow to actually swim. This is a beautiful fall, and the park has multiple picnic areas, which we believe used to be campsites. This is a very small park and you can hear the falls when you enter, so it […]

Lyons Falls, Upper

This area has two locations, and both are public boat launches that people swim from. They are close together, with one launch on the upper falls above the dam, and one below the dam. Both areas are signed, and there is camping at the lower one. UPPER BOAT LAUNCH- We were told by a mom […]

Erwin Park Boonville

This is a town park in Boonville, with a large swimming area, sports fields, and picnic areas.  This is a pretty park, that is quite large for a town park, and has multiple lifeguards.  No pets allowed. http://village.boonville.ny.us/content/Parks/View/1

Ager’s Falls

There is a brown and yellow sign for Ager’s Falls Recreational Area, and then signs directing you to the parking lot for the falls.  The falls are visible from the parking lot. This is a gorgeous location, and we think it is one of the best in the state.  There is a meduim sized fall […]

Whitaker Falls Park

This location is variously called Whitaker or Whittaker, but we went with the town website spelling of “Whitaker” http://villageoflowville.org/content/Parks/View/3 This is a sort of unusual park in that it has a gorgeous set of waterfalls, but we didn’t find the access very clear.  The falls could be a great tourist attraction, but the access is a little […]

Whetstone Gulf State Park

This is a man-made swimming area with tannic water, and a sand beach.  There is a playground and restrooms are available; dogs are allowed, but not on the beach. http://nysparks.com/parks/92/details.aspx
