Does anyone know anything about this place? It's on the west side of Seneca Lake.

There's a large falls near Rt15. Not visible form the road. It is on private property, though the creek is navigable a good way up in the spring. I think there are 3 large falls.

Yes, I used to go there when I was in high school. Been awhile. If I remember correctly there are a couple of falls there, but nothing spectacular. One of them has a deep pool that is about as wide and long as a bathtub that you can jump off a 6' outcrop into. Last time I navigated up there, it was dry as a bone. One of the first waterfall treks I ever took, with my older brother and his friends. Guess in a way it led to my passion for waterfalls however didn't realize it till just now!

It's amazing how many falls there are in the Finger Lakes. I bet every little stream and gully that flows into the lakes has at least one falls on it. I'm constantly finding out about more and more. Like this one.

Yes it sure is. From this, it looks to be bigger than I recall....

Here's the falls I was talking about. Looks like an old mill there too. That tributary to the right seems to have a nice drop into the gorge too.
