Hulls Falls is a 20-foot cascade in two steps on the East Branch of the Ausable River, directly at the Hulls Falls Road bridge north of Keene. The upper step is just above the bridge, and the lower step splits around a large boulder just downstream. From Keene, just north of where NY 73 and NY 9N split, take NY 73 north. Just before it crosses the river, turn left on Hulls Falls Road and go 1.6 miles to the bridge. The road has a second end on NY 73 farther south, where the bridge is only 0.9 miles in. Some land on the downstream side is private and posted.
