Northern New York Waterfalls: Tenant Creek Falls

Tenant Creek Falls, also called Tenant Creek First Falls or Hope Falls, is a 35 to 40 foot cascade that fans out over a steep rock face. From Northville take NY 30 north, turn right on Old Northville Road, and in 1.4 miles turn left on Hope Falls Road. Drive about seven miles; the last mile is unpaved. Park at the large area on the right. Register at the kiosk a short distance in and follow the yellow DEC markers 0.9 miles to the falls. Two more falls are upstream. This listing is taken to be the first falls; its point sits a short way upstream of the published coordinates.
