The total distance to Buttermilk Falls is 0.1 mile roundtrip (less than 5 minutes!). This easily accessible waterfall (40 ft. tall) on the Raquette River, in the Adirondacks offers up a beautiful foamy cascade and picnic tables by the river.
This short, wide waterfall makes for an easy, all-seasons excursion into the Adirondack area, particularly beautiful as leaves start to turn in the fall.
From the trailhead, you will already hear the sound of rushing water – simply follow the trailhead from North Point Road to the falls!
Bring a picnic lunch to eat beside the falls. Afterwards, you can explore the paths along the riverbank, or go swimming (please no climbing on/jumping from the falls). There is also a canoe launch above the falls, which can be used for boating in the river.
This is a popular trail, so avoid weekends if you mind the company.
