- Ground & access
- Old railroad grade with washed-out sections and eroding creek banks. Short spur trails down to the water.
Sonyea State Forest borders the Keshequa Creek gorge near Mount Morris. DEC says it is popular to walk past the gate and about 0.3 miles down into Keshequa Gorge, then along what is left of the old canal and railroad grade beside the creek. Two short spur trails lead to the water, one to a waterfall and one to Toadfest Point. DEC does not name the waterfall, so its match to Keshequa Creek Falls and this listing is probable but not confirmed. Large sections of the old grade have washed away.
