 The waterfall is just upstream of the bridge adjacent to the
parking area. According to tax maps, this is on private
property. It is probably owned by a large farm just up the
road. You have a good view of the waterfall from the
bridge. The only problem is a large pipe that is suspended
across the river on the upstream side of the bridge. That
does impede your view.
Please note that as a DEC fishing
access site, anglers have the right to access the river for the
sole purpose of fishing. This right does not extend to any
other activity, such as waterfalling. We are not saying
that this is right, but that's the way the rule reads.
The South Sandy Creek flows into Lake Ontario.
