About Buttermilk Falls County Park
Buttermilk Falls County Park is a 73-acre park in Upper Nyack, New York, featuring a short trail that leads down to Buttermilk Falls, a multi-tiered cascade that drops toward the Hudson River. The falls are most dramatic after spring rain or snowmelt, making it a rewarding visit in the right season. The park is free, open year-round, and welcoming to dogs. Parking is limited, so arriving early on weekends is a good idea. It's a quiet, easy outing for anyone looking for a scenic natural spot in the area.
