Jamestown has lean waterfall pickings. Stoney Pitcher Falls is the one hike on the list with a measured trail, an easy mile. Arkwright Falls and Shumla Falls appear by name up toward the Lake Erie escarpment, and Howard Falls rounds out the four, none of them documented with trail numbers yet. People here tend to drive north toward the bigger gorge country when they want a full day of water.
