I searched the boards, but didn't find anything for this massive looking falls.

Inman Gulf, Rainbow Falls, Jefferson County

It's the 7th hike listed.

Hello -

I don't believe you have Spruce Creek Falls on your list. It is a small waterfall in the town of Salisbury Center, a little po-dunk town just off the NYS Thruway north of Utica.
The creek has a covered bridge from 1875 and is a delightful little park with picnic tables. I highly recommend visiting if you are on the Thruway going past Utica. It's a nice stop off to break up a long drive, have some lunch and enjoy the falls and covered bridge.

Here some more info about the falls.

My apologies - I previously posted about Spruce Creek Falls in Salisbury Center.

They are not north of Utica as I mentioned, they are on route 29 just slightly NE of Little Falls, NY. Sorry for the wrong location.

Saturday, July 29th, 2017 - went to Wolcott Falls. Do you have that listed on your list?

There is a little park called Wolcott Falls park where they are located. Very easy trail - about .2 mile or so.
Here's a photo of the falls:

Hiya! So, I visited Delphi Falls yesterday for the first time (very cool). When I got home, I started googling the history of the town and the falls - interesting! I also starting looking on Google Earth and found some falls on the same Limestone Creek not too far away in New Woodstock. However, a google search provided nothing. Here are a few pics (this is solely from Google Earth, I have-not tried accessing these on my own, as I'm assuming it's private property.) Anyone know anything about these?
