I just learned today that Bucktail falls is now owned by the Onondagas. With the stipulation it will be open to the public during day light hours only ! So if you want hike up the upper falls you can !

That's great! Where did you get that juicy bit of info?

I visited last in spring 2014 and it looked like someone built a nice path around to the lower falls. I didn't see an easy way of getting to the upper area. Anyone up for a hike this spring?
