Grease Falls

Directions

From the intersection of NY 3 and NY 58, go west 1.5 miles on Route 3.  You will come to the Sykes Road on your right.  Be advised this section is dirt.  If you go another 0.1 mile, there is another access to the Sykes Road which is paved, but not for long!   Within a quarter mile or so, the pavement ends.  Follow this road until you come to the first road that exits to the right.  The falls are actually at the end of this road, but this is private land with a house on it.  Continue on the "main" road and you will come to a spot where the falls are visible from the road.
