This New York Waterfall Is The Coolest Thing You’ll Ever See For Free
In the Empire State, you’ll find that there’s an abundance of natural wonders right at your fingertips. While you may be familiar with whatever natural attraction is closest to your home, there’s nothing quite like uncovering something new in our state that you never knew existed. You may have already heard about New York’s city of waterfalls, but now it’s time to see what makes this one eternal waterfall so special. Check it out!
All the way out in Western New York where you're surrounded by the scenic beauty that comes along with living within these quaint small towns, Orchard Park is where you'll find something truly special.
Before you know it, after hiking along the Shale Creek, you'll find yourself right before a 30-foot-tall waterfall that's absolutely unlike any other waterfall that you'll find in our state - or the rest of the country for the matter!
That's right! Inside Chestnut Ridge Park, Eternal Flame Falls cascades down through the woods in all of its glory with, yes, an actual flame inside of it.
Staying lit all throughout the year, gas emitted from the cracks in the rocks make it possible for this flame to stay lit right in the heart of a beautiful waterfall. Plus, if the flame goes out, all you need to do is spark a lighter once again in its spot, and it'll come to life once again.
A hike and waterfall that's absolutely unlike any other that you've ever experienced, if you're ready to have your mind-blown, then it's time you tack on hiking out to Eternal Flame Falls to your bucket list.
