Clarendon Falls is on a tributary of Sandy Creek in a small community park just south of Clarendon's main intersection (NY 237 and 31A), at the site of Farwell's Mills. The falls can be seen from the parking area, or walk about 50 yards across the lawn to the base. A small bridge crosses the creek into a wooded area along the cliff with an old mill foundation, but the falls cannot be seen from there. Flow is very low except after heavy rain or during the spring thaw.
