About Wyandotte Falls

Wyandotte Falls, on the Misery River, is easy to reach. Water levels here depend on rainfall and spring melt at the river's headwaters, along with runoff from Lakes Roland and Gerald, so the falls can slow to a trickle during dry summers.

From the parking GPS point, a well-traveled trail through hemlock, maple, and pine leads into the forest. The first falls you reach sits beneath a pile of conglomerate rock — part cascade, part slide, with a pool at the top and a nice overlook. Continue down the trail to the larger, main drop, where the trail runs right alongside the upper falls. At high water the falls flow across the whole rock face; at lower water a split forms a striking scene.
