A series of three drops totaling roughly 80 feet through a narrow gorge on the Mine Kill in Mine Kill State Park near North Blenheim, with the middle section being the tallest at about 40 feet. Short trails from the parking area lead to upper and lower viewing platforms, with the Long Path continuing beyond.
At 80 ft, it stands above roughly 63% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
The falls are fed by Mine Kill. You'll find it in Schoharie, New York. It is protected within New York State Parks.
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of North Blenheim, the closest town.
When to go: spring. Like most waterfalls, Mine Kill Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
