Trail Overview

Tenant Creek Falls is a southern Adirondack waterfall destination in Wilcox Lake Wild Forest. A dedicated Tenant Creek Falls Parking Area gives hikers access to the Tenant Creek Falls Trail. The first falls comes after a short forest hike, with additional falls farther along the creek. Hikers go for an easy forest approach, hemlock and hardwood scenery, and a waterfall series that can be enjoyed as a short outing or extended slightly for more cascades.
