Told myself I was gonna start shooting waterfalls again. So here we go. The recent deluges have made it perfect
Here off rt 38 on the west side of Owasco Lake:

Lies this nice guy:
Visible almost immediately from the road to the left of the pull-off directly on the bridge. No posted signs on the leftside of the road. Somewhat of a well defined ridgeline path follows this gorge - you can see the above waterfall almost immediately, but you have to walk about 1/2 a mile down that path before you find any sort of drop off into the creek bed. Then you get down there, have to climb up this:
That one is probably 25' tall...slick scramble up the lefthand side, then you get to the above large one, which I'm guessing is 50-60' tall. Nice falls. I'm sure the recent rainfall is responsible for it looking so good.

Awesome! How would one get there? How many miles north of Moravia?

I would say 3-4 miles, kinda near Cascade and the Cascade Grill. You are looking for Sherwood road...

that looks amazing.......
well yesterday i went with a friend to an 'unnamed waterfall' my friend who has lived in Moravia all her life didn't even know the name of the falls....... and we had to get there through private property and it adjoins the ruins of the old coal fired power station... basically just a wall with window spaces (though it is two stories high)......Anyone know if it has a name?
(I thought after all the rains waterfalls would be a great choice of subject)...and it was finally a nice day!
But i hate not knowing the name of places and i figured someone here might know.... it was accessible off route 38A but we went through a farm and parked before hiking down. (Not for the feint of heart).

I love some of the angles you got..... i was there to do a photo shoot of a friend so the person was the focus not the location...... i wish i had more time there! But i did manage a few good shots of her.

I think I spied these falls yesterday, but wasn't sure and didn't see a path. Of course it was dawn and the embankment was quite dark.
I'm confused though. I dont see any Armstrong Road and your bing link shows it as further to the west on Mathers Road. But nonetheless I am quite sure I stopped roadside at these falls after hearing them while driving down 38. Theres a larger gully just north of there as well, I didnt see any posted signs.
