NYFalls: Indian Falls (Lockport)

Indian Falls is a 6 to 8-foot curtain on the West Branch of Eighteen Mile Creek in Rollin T. Grant Gulf Wilderness Park, just outside Lockport. From downtown Lockport head west on NY 31 (Niagara Street) for 0.8 miles, turn left on West Jackson Street, and drive 0.3 miles to a gravel pull-off on the right marked by a round millstone. Trails lead down into the gulf to the falls.

Plan your visit

Gravel pull-off on West Jackson Street outside Lockport, trail down into Rollin T. Grant Gulf Wilderness Park to Indian Falls

NYFalls gives time, not distance: about 15 minutes to see the falls, or 2 hours for all the park’s trail loops.

Narrow, rocky trails with stream fords. Steep, often muddy grades down to the falls in spring. Not accessible for wheelchairs.

Where to start

Small gravel pull-off at the trailhead on West Jackson Street, room for about 5 cars. Alternate parking off Niagara Street at the southwest edge of the preserve makes the walk much longer.

Timing & water

Open all year, sunrise to sunset. Flow is low and typically dry by summer; best April to June after snowmelt or several days of rain.
