Uncovering New York: Ludlowville Falls

Ludlowville Falls (also called Salmon Creek Falls) is a 35 to 40 foot waterfall on Salmon Creek at the back of Ludlowville Park, a small town park in Lansing. From the parking area, walk across the flat grassy field to the fence above the falls; there is no formal path. A rougher way leads down to the creek bed below the falls. A large grotto lies under the south end of the falls. People swim in the pool, but boulders that have fallen from the caprock are a reason for caution.
