A 137-foot ribbon cascade in a narrow wooded gorge at Pratt's Falls County Park near Manlius, where water bounces continuously over jagged limestone edges. A short 0.6-mile trail with steps and railings descends to the base.
Its 137 ft drop is taller than about 81% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Pratt's Falls sits on West Branch Limestone Creek tributary. It lies in Onondaga, New York. The site is on public land managed by Onondaga County 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 0.6 miles round trip. The nearest town is Manlius.
When to go: spring. Water volume swings with the seasons here, strongest after snowmelt or rain and lowest in late summer, so check recent streamflow before you go.
