Description

A fun creek run starting just below the dam in Cazenovia. After the second bridge there is a small chute down a broken dam. Continue past the third bridge then get out at the fishing access. Be 100% certain where you are getting out. Mark the shore or park where you will be certain to see your vehicle. By the time you see the bridge above Chittenango Falls you are already about to die. The falls is two 60 foot ledges with landings on rock back to back. Syracuse Area Runs: Butternut Creek Chittenango Creek (Cazenovia) Chittenango Creek (Chittenango) Fish Creek E.
