Manor Kill Falls is a series of falls and cascades that drop more than 100 feet along the Manor Kill before it reaches the Schoharie Reservoir. From Prattsville, take NY 23 west and turn right onto County Route 7 just before the bridge over Schoharie Creek. The road becomes County Route 53 and then County Route 39 (Prattsville Road). The bridge over the Manor Kill is nearly six miles along. Park at a pull-off and view the falls from the bridge; there are views on both sides. The aqua-blazed Long Path crosses the stream on the same bridge.
