Maps and Resources used to gather information:

Western New York all outdoors Atlas & Field Guide Publication 2008 135 E5
World Waterfalls Database

Directions: From the intersection of Highway 173 and Highway 92 in manlius, take Highway 173 southwest for .8 miles. Turn right onto Glencliffe Road and drive .5 miles to a parking area on the right just before the curve.

Length of Hike:  Approximate 1.6 miles round trip on the direct trail to the base of the falls.

 
Parking areas: N42.99742 W75.99968
 
From the parking area you will enter the trail to the left. Take the trail to the left. Walk about .3 miles and you will come to another trail intersection. Go left here. You will go down a little hill to the stream bed. Follow the stream. You will quickly come to what is left of a dam, which is now very colorful with graffiti. Continue on from here for another .4 miles to the base of the falls. Between the dam and the falls you will have passed by a campsite. If only people would pick up their garbage!! This is not what appears to be a true campsite but more of a party place. We chose to do the loop, and took the trail that goes along the top of the cliff to the top of the falls. Use caution, as you get closer to the top the trail gets closer to the edge. The trail becomes more of a path then a trail, walking on rocks or boulders as some would say. When you get to the top, there are paths to get you down to the base of the falls. Use caution, as this can be dangerous with rain and snow or ice. From the base looking at the three waterfalls from left to right is Staircase Falls, in the middle is Tall Twin Falls and then Cascade Falls.

From the town of greig at the intersect of blue street (main street name changes to blue street) and greig road drive southeast on greig road for about 1.4 Miles. Bear left onto odett road and drive .3 Miles to pine grove road. Turn left again then a right onto eatonville road. Drive 1.4 Miles on eatonville road which changes to otter creek truck trail. Drive over the bridge to the parking area.

Small campground and picnic area, no restrooms! There are trails on both sides going upstream. I only took the trail on the right going downstream. The trails are very easy.

This is a roadside waterfall, most likely best seen in the spring or fall.

MARTINSBURG FALLS

This next set of photos were taken at different areas along Gomer Hill Road. We had meant to be on the next road over. Good thing! All of it are roadside views only.

MILL CREEK falls on (GOMER HILL ROAD)

This next one is not really considered a fall, and currently I find no name for it. Roadside only from the bridge.

MILL CREEK (SILVER CREEK) falls on (CEMETERY ROAD)

BOTH MOORES FALLS AND SILVER CREEK FALLS ARE LOCATED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. THE HOME OWNER GRANTED ME PERMISSION TO ACCESS THIS WATERFALL AND ANOTHER ONE ON THEIR PROPERTY. THE HOME OWNER ALSO REQUESTED THAT I POST ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION ON THE LOCATION, BUT DID GRANT ME PERMISSION TO POST THE PHOTO. I WAS ALSO ASKED IF ANY RESOURCES OUT THERE HAD POSTED INFORMATION TO THIS LOCATION TO PLEASE REMOVE IT. THE HOMEOWNER STATED THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH FOLKS TRESPASSING, HAVING CAMP FIRES, AND EVEN TRYING TO CAMP, AS WELL AS LEAVING GARBAGE. THIS HAS LEAD TO THERE DECISION TO PRIVACY. PLEASE RESPECT HOME OWNERS. THE HOME OWNER ALSO STATED THAT, LIKE ME, IF WE STOP AND KNOCK AND ASK…..YOU MAYBE GRANTED!!

MY MAPS SHOW THE STREAM AS MILL CREEK, RESOURCES HAVE IT LISTED AS SILVER CREEK.

MOORES FALLS

SILVER CREEK FALLS (MILL CREEK)

This next one, the story for this! We wasted so much time. If you ever traveled in this area you would understand. We drove over 8 miles on this dirt road and totally by passed the locations we were looking for. Fact was we could not find actual trail starts and kept going. Needless to say driving all the way to the end and had to turn around and back track the 8 miles. It would be nice if there was any sign stating DEAD END road!! Anyways, right at the end was a turn around and this was there.

OTTER CREEK falls on (PARTRIDGEVILLE ROAD)

Talcottville Falls was a revisit for me. The last time I was here it was in the winter. What a difference. That and this time could see the trail down in.

TALCOTTVILLE FALLS aka SUGAR RIVER FALLS

This is also a re visit. I had did a post on this earlier I believe. A well known attraction. This time I went in from the northern end and took the south trail in.

From the intersection of highway 12 and glenfield road, drive .2 Miles east on glenfield road. You will come to an intersection of main street. Turn left onto main street and drive .2 Miles to a right onto grieg road. Drive .5 Miles on grieg road to a left onto otter creek road. Drive 1.5 Miles on otter creek road to the intersection of pine grove road. Turn left here onto pine grove road and drive 1.4 Miles. Where rudd road is on your right. Turn onto rudd road and drive .3 Miles to the end where the bridge is out. This is the take out spot for the whitewater rafters.

The trail is fairly easy and is .5 mile round trip on the west side trail. The falls below the bridge is only a few hundred yards and also can be viewed from the bridge.

BRIDGE BOOF IV-RAPIDS on INDEPENDENCE RIVER

FAT LADY IV-RAPIDS on INDEPENDENCE RIVER

Fat Lady is located in the section below the Independence River Falls. The photos are included under the Independence River Falls.

The Wall IV Rapids and the Independence river (falls on) are located downstream from the bridge. I firmly believe I had viewed the latter from the other road, as can see by the tracking.

This section are the photos I had taken when we took the trail on the west side of the river, going as far as we could just below the dam. Another trip is planned to this location taken the trail on the east side to go further upstream for the other falls listed here.
