A 46-foot waterfall in the Buttermilk Falls Natural Area near Clyde in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. A short, well-maintained trail of under a quarter mile leads from the parking area to a viewing platform overlooking the falls.
Its 46 ft drop is taller than about 36% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
The falls are fed by unknown. It lies in Indiana, Pennsylvania. The site is on public land managed by Indiana County Parks.
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Little to no walking is required, so it suits a quick roadside pull-off rather than a dedicated hike. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.5 miles round trip. The nearest town is New Florence.
When to go: spring. Flow usually peaks after snowmelt and heavy rain and tapers through late summer — a quick look at recent streamflow and the managing agency's conditions page can save a wasted trip.
