WOW! Very nice shot Champy. I really like the "shades" of green. Is it still all cleared out below falls & pool?

Looked pretty good, but there were more falls of rock and wood, probably from the flooding events we've had. Here's head on:

great shots.
I was there a few weeks ago in similar flow. Did you notice a trail up the left? I saw it but looks like it started on private property.

I took my grandson to see the falls. He enjoyed the view too. Here is a couple of pictures from today.

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 !
