Waterfall Hikes Near Binghamton, NY

The nearest entry on Binghamton's list is a Buttermilk Falls about 17 miles west near Owego, a 50-foot step cascade on a tributary of Catatonk Creek that you can see from Spaulding Hill Road, with a dirt pullout for about two cars and posted land around it. Its drainage is small and can run dry by summer, so go after rain. Tinker Falls, about 38 miles north in Labrador Hollow Unique Area, drops about 50 feet over a ledge you can walk behind, at the end of a quarter-mile path that is mostly accessible. Ithaca Falls, about 42 miles northwest, is the tall one at 150 feet, a short walk from small lots off Lake Street, and swimming is prohibited there. Bucks Falls and White Store Falls also make the list of 22 but have no trail data yet.
