Diamond Notch Falls

A small twin-curtain waterfall on Seekill Creek, reachable on a gentle trail. It is suitable for easy family hikes and creekside picnics.

The falls lie at the end of the Spruceton Valley, south of the town of Hunter. From the parking lot, a gentle forest road leads about 1.2 km to the falls. Water tumbles down the rock steps on either side, with a wooden bridge and shallow pools below, where you can dip your feet in summer.

The trail can continue over Diamond Notch to the Esopus side. Admission is free, parking is limited, and cell phone reception is very weak at the end of the valley.
