Buttermilk Falls County Park

Richard Huang

We walked the blue trail. We did find the "waterfall" but it was entirely dried up. There was only a trickle of a stream. The drop was substantial enough that I could imagine a picturesque waterfall ... if there wasn't a lack of water. The trail itself was mildly steep was much loose rock. Not a problem for the average hiker, but not family friendly for small children.

Came upon this park the other day, unexpectedly, and decided to give it a try. We read that buttermilk falls was only a short 1.2 mile loop hike. Quick and easy. A wide open road begins the start of the trail with clear markings throughout. It will get a little steep in the beginning. Keep in mind that there are multiple trail heads at this park, so if you only want to see the falls, follow the Blue Trail. We noticed a lot of bugs on the hike, so definitely bring your bug spray. There was also a lookout point from which you can overlook the town. Totally worth the effort!

This is a fun hike that's not too long or too strenuous but challenging enough so you feel pretty good when you're done. It takes me about 45 minutes. The photo I took was around 6pm and the sun is right in front of you at the lookout point and kind of blinding. But I did see four hawks flying about so I'd say it was worth it. :)

Small county park located in Orangeburg NY. This relatively short hike features a beautiful waterfall and two vistas. To really enjoy the waterfall, you must visit either after a rainstorm or during mild temps in winter time.
