Pets: Pets are allowed in the WMA, but you would be foolish to take them on this dangerous hike. This is a very difficult stream hike requiring climbing and traversing the creek. For safety, visit in daylight with plenty of time to make your descent before dark. Seasons/Hours: The Hi Tor Wildlife Management Area has no restricted hours or times. Take your time climbing and don’t rush for obvious safety reasons. Waterway: An unnamed tributary to Naples Creek, which is the southern inlet to Canandaigua Lake. Winter can be dangerous with ice and falling rocks.įlow: Low to moderate. The smaller falls going up the gully range from a 3 to 8 ft tall.īest time to visit: Spring and Fall. The three remaining large falls (from downstream up) are estimated at 30, 20, 25,15, and 50 ft tall. Size/Types: Angel Falls, when flowing, is about 120 ft tall. Probably 15 in total. Angel Falls is a large seasonal runoff cascade and only flows after high rain/snowmelt–it’s easily missed. There are several smaller cascades along the hike. Many people just park on the side of 245 at this point. It’s a dirt road that leads into the woods for a few hundred feet. Alternate parking can be found off of Parrish Hill Road (coming from NY-245) near the 3rd bend. Parking: There’s a dirt and gravel parking area off of CR-245. Just behind it is Parrish Hill Rd, so if you hit that, you’ve gone too far. About a mile and a quarter after that turn, the parking area will be on your right. 245 will turn left, right as it approaches the Hi Tor Area.
