Shequaga Falls and Deckertown Falls – Montour Falls, New York

Back to my New York trip for a quick post. On the same day that I explored Watkins Glen, I also drove South to Montour Falls, New York to explore some easily accessible locations.

Shequaga Falls is right in town Montour Falls in a small park on Genesee Street. Don’t blink as you’ll miss the park. It’s about the width of a house lot and is sandwiched between two private homes. Beautiful spot thought. There were locals eating lunch here on public benches. Nice spot to take the kids for a half hour to break the daily grind.

I had intended on checking out Havana Glen, which is a park at the Montour Falls Town Office, but it doesn’t open until Memorial weekend, so I checked out the close by Deckertown Falls on Catlin Mill Creek. All around is private property and it’s well posted. As a result, I was only able to walk to two of the falls here. Well worth it if you are in the area, but not a destination in itself.

I think that does it for the areas I explored in the Watkins Glen vicinity. My next post about NY with be about the day I visited Buttermilk Falls State Park. Until then….
