Tinker Falls

Description

Tinker Falls is a beautiful waterfall located just off New York State Route 91 in the Labrador Hollow Unique Area. The waterfall features a 50-foot plunge that falls off an overhanging section of rock. This plunge then continues into a 30-foot series of cascades. The falls are most spectacular during the spring thaw and after large rainstorms. Visitors can view the falls from the base and also can hike up the falls for a closer look even underneath.  

The falls can be reached via the 0.6-mile out-and-back Tinker Falls Trail. The trail is extremely well-maintained and well-marked. It is rated as easy and wheelchair-friendly, stroller-friendly, and kid-friendly. The gravel segment of the trail in the first 0.2 miles is the most accessible part. The majority of the trail is considered to be relatively mild (5 percent or less), however, there are some steeper portions and steps at roughly the 0.2-0.3 miles section. Trail users in wheelchairs, mobility equipment, or strollers may require help or should avoid the steeper sections and steps for safety reasons. The first 0.2 miles of this trail are wheelchair accessible, according to the park website.  Dogs are also able to hike to Tinker Falls but must be kept on a leash.

After checking out Tinker Falls, be sure to stop by the 65-foot Delphi Waterfall located just 15 minutes away!
