Warsaw Falls
Step off the grid to explore Warsaw Falls, a majestic 80-foot waterfall fed by a winding creek.
Hidden beauty and serenity in the heart of Warsaw, NY.
Tucked away behind the Village Park (and sitting on private property) is Warsaw Falls. Warsaw Falls cannot be accessed from above the falls. The property owners welcome respectful hikers & explorers, so please be courteous of the land and understand that you explore completely at your own risk.
Park at the far south west of the park, at the base of a sloping green hill. Follow a clearing up the hill and you’ll notice a trail verging left. Continue following this rustic trail, taking the forks that descend toward a babbling creek on the other side.
Keep in mind that this is not a maintained trail, so expect to navigate tree roots, logs and other natural barriers along the way. Once you reach Stony Creek, follow it upstream. Much of this hike will require wading into shallow water. Enjoy several smaller waterfalls, and serene views of untouched natural beauty that culminates in an 80 foot tall waterfall.
Admire the falls from the base or hike up a short series of rocks to get right under the water.
While the trail isn’t steep or too difficult, it’s best for hikers with good balance, and comfortable with navigating rocky / slippery terrain. We also recommend wearing a bathing suit to get the best experience of the falls.
Safety Notes:
- Wear waterproof creek wading shoes because your feet are guaranteed to get wet.
- Some sections of the creek bed are very slippery and require creativity with how to walk up the waterfalls.
- Avoid hiking after heavy rain. This can become treacherous with high and rapidly moving water.
- No children or pets of any kind allowed.
- No handicap accessibility.
