Delphi Falls County Park — Attraction in Town of Cazenovia

A special gem just off Route 20 in New Woodstock (

This was a 60 acre property that was originally privately owned and there is still the home and garage there. It is amazeing to think that this was ever put up for sale but it was. A SU retired professor bought the property for 900,000 and donated it to madison county. Once you visit you will understand if it was your home you would never want to give it up, if you bought it you could almost not be able to help yourself and fix it up and live there as well, but some how it was donated to leave for the public to enjoy. You cant help but wonder what it might have been like to live with their 50ft waterfall dropping in your back yard. For me that's what made it interesting. It was opened to the public in 2018 and now it can be everyone's backyard for everyone to think about what they would do if they lived there and hopefully show people how important opening up these spaces to the...

Update: There is a trail along the left bank of the water now. Nice parking lot, outhouse style bathroom, stairs and stable railings. However, they tore down the barn and house that used to stand on the right bank (I'm bereft). They're working on building something over there but in the meantime you can't access the easy walk to the base of the falls. The overlook is nowhere near as impressive. So at this time, I'd wait until it's completed.

First visit:This park is in development. Not really any trails yet. I am almost sad it is a park because this is my dream piece of property. Nice house with huge windows, a big barn, ...and a double waterfall in the backyard. Now it's a park I'll never own it lol. Not that it would have ever happened...
