Descent

Long Hill Falls in Moravia, New York is a moderate 0.1-mile out-and-back bushwhack hike that leads to the bottom of the 100-foot tall waterfall, Long Hill Falls.

Hike Description
This is not really a hike, but rather a road walk that leads to a very short creek bushwhack. Hikers will park at the large roadside turnout at the coordinates provided and walk northwest along Long Hill Road for a few-hundred feet to reach the nearest creek that passes under the road. Here, hikers will bushwhack through the brush, leading downhill from the road, to reach the creek. Once on the creek, this becomes a very sketchy walk as you slowly make your way up the slippery slate bedrock to reach a view of the 100-foot tall Long Hill Falls.

Parking
Hikers will find a large parking turnout at the coordinates provided.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and should be cleaned up after.

Warning
Slick bedrock: Walking the bedrock here can be very dangerous as most of it is very slippery. It's very easy to lose your footing, slip, and hit your head on the bedrock so tread lightly and do not push yourself up the creek too far to avoid getting seriously injured. Hikers can view most of the large waterfall from the bottom of the bedrock, despite there being better views upstream.

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
