The Easy New York Tunnel Hike That Leads You To A Stunning Waterfall

If you've ever craved some time outdoors but have found yourself lacking a large amount of time to set aside for an activity like this, then don't worry - we understand! Not all New Yorkers live close to the mountains or have a great deal of time in their day to spend hours exploring our state's most serene spaces. For those of you who are seeking something short but sweet and have wondered, "what are some waterfalls near me in New York?" it's time you go check out this one little corner of Monroe County.

Easy to explore in any season and hidden away out in Rochester's suburb of Penfield is Corbett's Glen Nature Park.

Covering over 50 acres, the park features three trails that are all under a mile long - making for easily accessible and quick adventures.

Running through the heart of the park is Allens Creek, where along the creek you'll find three significant waterfalls, one of which is beautifully framed by an old railroad bridge tunnel.

Known to most as Tunnel Falls, you'll want to make sure you have your camera with you while you're exploring this park so that you can capture picturesque sights like these.

With Corbett's Glen Nature Park's perimeter trail taking you past all the park's most stunning wonders, all you'll need is to set aside enough time to explore this 0.6-mile-long trail to enjoy what this place has to offer.

To access the park's trails, you can park at the park's largest lot at the top of Glen Road (which is nearest to Tunnel Falls) or you can also park at the smaller lot off of Penfield Road near Forest Hill Road.
