This is a great place to visit for a short hike and to cool off in the water. Just 10 miles (15 minutes) away. Take a left out of camp, then a right at the stop sign towards Long Lake. As you come down the hill before Long Lake you’ll see a sign for Buttermilk Falls, take a left on North Point Road, go 2 miles and the falls are on the right.

Very easy hike into these majestic waterfalls, pack a lunch, or just a blanket and enjoy the sounds of the falls.

Long Lake BUTTERMILK FALLS Buttermilk Falls: Definitely a nice place to visit and part of the Hamilton County Waterfall Tour. Family picnics, easy walk and a scenic destination that everyone visits. The trail to Buttermilk Falls is only about 0.1 miles. This destination is a great all-round spot for the entire family no matter age, physical ability level or experience. This not a mobility accessible site. The ground is uneven, lots of erosion and can be slippery and muddy during the wet season. Above the falls there is a canoe launch that can be used for boating up the Raquette River to a nice lean-to on a grassy point. Right above the falls there are several rock outcropping, opening up picnic areas and places to relax by the sounds of rushing water. Below the falls there is also picnic spots, as well as swimming areas directly below the falls or a bit further down the Raquette River. The rocky falls are not recommended for climbing or diving from and should be highly respected. There are also picnic benches in the area as well as a hiking trail. The hiking trail is designated as a canoe carry and part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. You can hike this trail to the put-in below the falls. Past this put-in there is a herd path along the river to access nice swimming areas downstream as well as attractive views out over the water. Eventually the herd path will connect with another carry trail and eventually end at two lean-tos on the south end of Long Lake. The site is extremely dangerous at both low water and high water, and year-round. There are no lifeguards, no cell phone service in the area and it is located several miles from the nearest emergency crew.
