Deckertown Falls (also called Catlin Creek Falls) is a set of three narrow, chute-like cascades totalling more than 50 feet on Catlin Mill Creek in the village of Montour Falls. From the small parking area at the end of the street, take the short path to the creek near the base of the falls. Most of the surrounding land is private, so stay in the public right of way. The gorge upstream has steep, unstable shale cliffs and is not a route for casual visitors.
