Awosting Falls — Local services in Town of Rochester

We visited this stunning waterfall with a group ranging in age from 2 to 70, and it was an unforgettable experience for everyone. The walk to the falls was scenic and peaceful just enough adventure without being too challenging for our youngest and oldest family members. The grounds are well maintained and offer very wide clearly marked trails. It can be steep in some areas, so bear in mind. There were potter potty’s and vending machines for beverages in the parking area parking was roughly $10 I believe.

The falls themselves are absolutely breathtaking, with clear water rushing over layered rock into a calm pool. There are shaded spots for resting, areas to explore safely, and plenty of nature to take in along the way. It wasn’t too buggy either not a lot of mosquitoes actually which was great. We did find one tick on us after, our fault for not wearing the...

Awosting Falls & Water Reserve Review

Located near Poughkeepsie, approximately 100 miles from NYC, Awosting Falls & Water Reserve is a hidden gem worth visiting, especially when exploring the Walkway Over the Hudson area.

Trail & Falls: The 1.5-mile long trail leads to a stunning fall area with a small water lake, perfect for flashing and cooling down on a hot day. Note: Swimming is not recommended, as the water source is from the street, as warned by Park & Recreation employees.

Picnic & Relaxation: We spent some time enjoying the scenery, resting, and snacking on food we brought with us. Please note that food, cooking, and barbecues are restricted in the area.

Parking & Admission: Plenty of parking is available, and admission is free!

We had a blast exploring Awosting Falls & Water Reserve, and it was a great addition to our day trip adventures...

My wife and I’ve visited Awosting Falls yesterday (05/20). Its 85 miles from our home and the route is very familiar to us.

Entrance fee to the park is $10/car, you can pay through card or cash or you can use your annual pass if you have one.

There is a plenty of parking space so don’t have to worry a bit.

Falls is 20 mins hike from the lower car parking (1.4 mile) & there is an upper car parking which is on top of the hill, you can hike up the hill it’s 2 miles to the Lake Minnewaska.

There is a rest room just next to the car parking, there is no way I could use it, you can’t get closer to the rest room as it smells terribly bad even about 50 feet away from it.

Hike to the falls is very easy. It’s one of the beautiful falls and height is more than 60 feet.

You’ll definitely love it and it’s...
