A waterfall dropping a total of about 56 feet in three steps (roughly 18, 30, and 8 feet) at the start of the Gorge Trail in Fillmore Glen State Park near Moravia. The first falls are wheelchair accessible, with the remaining gorge cascades reached by a brief steep climb.
Its 56 ft drop is taller than about 44% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Its water comes from Dry Creek (Fillmore Glen). It lies in Cayuga, New York. The site is on public land managed by New York State Parks.
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2.6 miles round trip. The nearest town is Moravia.
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.
