Derek McAllister Photography: 5/26/2024 - Mine Kill Falls State Park

Another long ride to see a new waterfall. Again, no swimming allowed with no enforcement. At least most of the people here were considerate regarding the photography. This is a really neat place if you're into hiking. Round trip from the park to the falls was about 2 miles, and it certainly wasn't flat! Plan on your feet getting wet as you have to cross the stream. The best part is that admission is free thanks to the New York Power Authority. A lot of people which is why these are in portrait rather than landscape.

Site Notes: There are plenty of tables for picnics, a playground for kids, and a huge disc golf course. The falls are not handicap accessible in any form.

Note: Between this photo and the next, you can see that the water doesn't come straight from the upper cascade to the main falls. It crashes against the walls of the gorge sending it to the right, then again sending it to the left before coming down toward you.
