What I love about waterfalls is that they are ever-changing. You can visit a waterfall a hundred times and never see the same falls twice. The volume of water, the season, and the erosion change the face of waterfalls in subtle yet intrinsic ways. Whiteman’s Gully Falls is one of these waterfalls that is ever-changing and, more than that, is a gorgeous place to escape the hectic world as well as the perfect summer destination to cool off. This stunning waterfall is the crown jewel in the Genesee Land Trust’s newly acquired Gully Nature Preserve.

The Falls
Whiteman’s Falls is one of the waterfalls that looks incredible from every angle. The waterfall can be seen from every vantage point, and it is hard to pick the best one. This 60-foot waterfall looks fantastic no matter how much water is flowing over it. There is a deep pool at the bottom, and when we visited on a hot day, we saw a few people cooling off in it.
The Trail
The trail to the falls is relatively short, but you will want to make sure you are wearing shoes that you don’t mind getting wet, as you will have to cross the creek to get down to the falls. This is absolutely NOT a flip-flop or croc destination. You will need to climb down a steep hill that can be muddy and slippery, especially after it rains.
