Taken after 2.58" of rain. Apologies for the cellphone pics-it's all I have. Creekwalking to the upper falls would be impossible.
A friend of mine lives in Union Springs and claims that in the spring there may be a posted sign, but it is usually gone by mid summer. Most of the townfolk go swimming at the bottom of the lower falls, and people who use it pick up a lot of garbage there. There was no posted sign off Rt 90 today. Maybe in a few weeks before it gets cold I can make it up to the upper falls.

No need to apologize, Moemoe. Fantastic shots, honestly. Thank you for sharing them!

Unfortunately....The Finger Lakes Land Trust today announced that it has accepted the donation of a perpetual conservation easement from landowner Dan McIntosh to ensure the future of his iconic Great Gully Farm..
The farm, which encompasses 650 acres, is a scenic landmark that is known by many for its expansive views of Cayuga Lake and scenic farmland adjoining State Route 90 just north of the Village of Aurora.
The conservation easement limits future development while providing for continued agricultural use and the creation of two additional home sites. It covers the entire farm which spans 650 acres, including more than a half mile of Great Gully – a rugged ravine that features rare flora, towering hardwood forests, and several waterfalls.
The easement agreement includes a special protection zone that encompasses the environmentally sensitive Gully. The land will remain in private ownership and on the tax rolls.
The conservation easement does not allow public access

Yea, I saw that...its close to where those historical markers are. In fact, there is a really old Indian Mound right next to Great Gully - probably even pre-Iroquoian of ageMatt wrote:Anyone hear about this? from Jan 29

Fantastic. I love the composition here. Especially the trees on the left and the fallen one on the right that actually ads a good line towards the waterflow... really the best shot I have seen of Great Gully thus far.
This is the falls with the overhang/cave, right?

Yeah! Fantastic shot!
I really like it when you waterfall aficionados include yourselves in the shots! But.....which of you will dare ham it up and be the first to give us a duck lips pose?
