One of New York's grandest waterfalls. If you want to hike, park just above the falls. The trail takes you along the river to the base of the falls. If you want an easier walk, drive to the parking lot off Laurel House Road, and there's a viewing platform. Research this online, and you'll see what we mean. :-)
