Short Walk to Buttermilk Falls

This short, wide waterfall makes for an easy, all-seasons excursion into the Adirondack area, particularly beautiful as leaves start to turn in the fall.

From the trailhead, you will already hear the sound of rushing water – simply follow the trailhead from North Point Road to the falls!

Bring a picnic lunch to eat beside the falls. Afterwards, you can explore the paths along the riverbank, or go swimming (please no climbing on/jumping from the falls). There is also a canoe launch above the falls, which can be used for boating in the river.

This is a popular trail, so avoid weekends if you mind the company.
