    Unnamed Falls Buttermilk Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    This week we go to an unnamed waterfall in Buttermilk Falls State Park that almost wasn’t part of my 50 New York Waterfalls project.  I was conflicted about including an unnamed waterfall in the project when all the other waterfalls were main features with their own names.  Ultimately decided this…

    Waterfall Wednesday: Upper Triphammer Falls

    June 12, 2019 /
    Triphammer Upper Falls Waterfall Wednesday blog cover

    I haven’t quite pinned down why this waterfall is one of my favorites.  Maybe it’s because it falls at angular steps.  Maybe it’s because it’s in such an urban setting.  Maybe it’s because it satisfies some need to find out where things start.  Maybe it’s the beautiful lake and waterlilies…

    Today we’re back in Letchworth State Park for the last time to talk about the third main waterfall of this park – Upper Falls.  There’s a lot of interesting bits of rail history that go along with this section of the park and it was so fun learning about it…
