Yet another falls dubbed "Buttermilk" in NY. These falls are roadside, and less than a 5 minute hike will bring you to the base of the main section. If time weren't limited..

we would have stopped at several other feeder streams as they were all running and looked to have potential.

I hope to be back there when foliage should be peaking and tackle 2 more 35ers as these falls form the drainage between the two.

I just visited this falls yesterday. Beautiful falls with a little watering hole about waist high. I didn't swin in it as anything under 70 degrees is just too cold for me!
