This stunning preserve spans 632 acres of rugged hardwood and coniferous forest and features three spectacular waterfalls: the Upper, Lower, and Rynex Creek Falls. Melt waters carved the gorge of the Plotter Kill at the close of the ice ages about 10,000 years ago. All the falls are fantastic, whether you visit in spring with high water or winter when they turn to ice. It is an incredible place to visit, with several hiking trails offering different vantage points to view the falls.
