Tully, NY
Tucked away in the Labrador Hollow Unique Area, Tinker Falls is one of Cortland County's hidden gems. This peaceful 50 foot waterfall is just a short walk from the parking area, making it an easy stop for families, casual hikers, and anyone looking to enjoy a quiet moment in nature. Because it's a little off the beaten path, you'll often have the trail and waterfall almost entirely to yourself.
One of the best features of Tinker Falls is its accessibility. Designated accessible parking and a wide, graded, mostly level trail lead to the base of the falls, allowing visitors of varying abilities to experience this scenic spot. Those looking for a little more adventure can continue up the stone steps to explore behind the waterfall, where the trail meets the Finger Lakes Trail. From there, hikers can continue to the Jones Hill Hang Glider Launch and overlook for sweeping views of the surrounding valley.
Open year round, Tinker Falls is especially beautiful in spring when the water is flowing strong, during the colorful fall foliage season, and when frozen in the winter.
