Matt and everyone:
If you go down 38A back towards Moravia, on your right side of the road is "St. Partrick's Cemetary". I think if you inquired with this church, you probably could get permission to enter cemetary and park there. Using google earth and path marking tool. It's about 1000 feet of creek walking up to the first falls. It's out of the question for me, I have arthitis in my lower back and cannot hike any real distances. On google maps you can find "property rights maps". I have some friends that used it to look at their own property to view boundaries.
I hope this may help anyone going to view this area ?
If anyone needs a helping hand in this venture ? Please feel free to email me what you need help with. Please put "Moravia" in subject matter, otherwise I'll disregard email and you won't get any answer.
Best of luck !

I just remembered there's a few minor 10-20 foot falls on Johns Creek in the village of Montour Falls. Easily accessible and on village property. At least that's what the owner of At The Falls B&B mentioned when we stayed there a few years ago.

Here's some bad pictures...

Duh....if I had looked at your map I would have know that this is Montville Falls.
