I had read about this mural before coming up here to do the nearby rail biking, which is less than a mile from here. According to information on the wall, this 180 foot mural was started in 2011 by a local artist with the assistance of many volunteers. You can tell this is truly a labor of love and they still maintain it on a regular basis. This piece of art is so intricate with many beautiful colors. I greatly enjoy the Adirondacks and miss Upstate NY (where I spent most of my life), so I love how the mural illustrates all of the amazing activities that there are to do in this region. We see people tubing, kayaking, biking, rafting, fishing and skiing. I highly recommend seeing this beautiful art if you are passing through town, it will only take you 5 minutes.

The best part of this location is that the falls are easily accessible from the road. There is…read moreplenty of parking room. The trail is only a few hundred feet until you get to the falls. Many people will gravitate to the bottom of the falls. My favorite area is the top of the falls. At the top the water is mirror smooth and then starts over the top of the falls. Just see the pictures. My family have been going up to the Adirondacks for over 40 years and we still try to make it back to buttermilk falls each year. It never gets old. Even my children love to go there of only for 30 minuets to enjoy the beauty.

This year is the first year we've taken both our kids (6 & 3) to see the falls. The hike is pretty easy from where you can park at. My three year old was in a carrier on my back, but my six year old made it down to the falls herself. The falls are so beautiful and one of my favorite things about the Adirondacks. The area down from the falls is great for exploring and skipping stones. We spent over an hour just exploring that area and taking pictures. It was great free fun on our vacation.

I grew up about 1 hour south of here, so I would always do a few day trips up here each year when I was growing up. There are a lot of parking meters here, but my friend and I are cheap, so we parked about 5 blocks back from the main street for free. The village has a plethora of tacky t-shirt shops that sell offensive apparel. Need booty shorts? Maybe an offensive pro-Trump shirt? Barf. Canada street is the main drag through here, you will find a decent assortment of restaurants here too. I am not a foodie at all, but the eateries here are not going to knock your socks off. I like to eat down by the lake when possible, there are some super casual bar/restaurants down that way. Be sure to take a stroll over towards Million Dollar Beach to get some nice views of the lake and mountains. For some reason, this is a popular destination for the New Jersey crowd.

This is an interesting find. Ive been visiting this town hit and miss over the lat few years, and…read moreevery time always find something new. It got its beachfront/lakefront parks, but it also has class. Its got an excellent town center (along with its center of town McDonalds) and many more shopping opportunities (town center shopping places and even an outlet mall just at the town's border but it also has some cultural opportunities too (Fort William Henry). It has several boat tourist companies with on-lake tours, but every so often you do hear that some boats have capsized or the company goes belly-up. (Ive trusted that the Steamboat Company will be there as i make my way to this one-day vacations.) The town's main strip is very walkable, but can be a little pricey when charges add up. Several bigger malls and sites lie just out of the town/(village) center, but if you are near, pop on by. Along with a motel or two in town, if you expand your horizons to just outside of the village borders (to the outer town), you'll find other brands). Theres a cultural Indian dining and a show company in the Holiday Inn, but that can be pricey too.

Parking is outside and sometimes you have to park 5-8 mins away from the falls . Not much of restrooms around . Lots of dogs in the water :) It was an amazing tint though ! Loved it . 5 stars !

As we were staying near Ludlow, I had put this on our schedule as a "check it out whenever time…read morepermits" item. We drove back after visiting some places to the north, and were passing this around 4 p.m. so we checked it out. This was in early October and the sun was just starting to go down. Though it was pre-dusk, it would be better to visit this site in full sunlight. There are 3 separate falls (the creatively named upper, middle, and lower). You access them from the main highway via a side road that starts as paved but soon becomes (good) dirt/gravel. The total length is less than 2 miles. You first get to a wide spot / parking area from which you can access the middle and lower falls. A trail leads down a hill where you must choose which falls to visit. The middle falls is impressive. It is probably the easiest one to access. The area from which you have the best view is a bit rocky, but navigable. It makes for nice photos. The lower falls appeared accessible from a side trail that descended a bit more steeply. You can also see it from above (somewhat) without descending. It appeared smaller and less photogenic than the middle falls. We then drove another 1/4 mile up the road (to its end) to check out the upper falls. There is a sharp short descent from the road to the top of the falls. It appeared to have a fairly large pool at the bottom and a flat dirt/sand area where some people had laid out a blanket for a picnic. The light was fading more so we skipped walking down the relatively gentle slope to check it out further. If you are in the area and have time, this is a nice spot to visit. It is within 3 miles of Ludlow. I cannot comment on what the swimming is like, but I saw references to that online (during summers, I guess).
