Deckertown Falls is a 60-foot waterfall in three drops on Catlin Mill Creek, near Montour Falls in Schuyler County, New York.
The falls
The creek comes down as tiered horsetails of about 35, 10 and 15 feet, fed by runoff. It runs year-round, carrying about 10 cubic feet per second in the wetter half of the year and about 2 in the drier half; flow is best after prolonged or heavy rain, and summer dry spells can cut it substantially.
Getting there
Town access is via NY 224, then South L'Hommedieu Street and East Catlin Street to small parking. The path to the lower view is under 150 feet. Only the bottom of the falls is public; the upper tier and the land upstream are posted private property. Fees, hours and permits are not documented.
On site
Visitors can reach the base by the short lower path, but the upper tier and the creek above it are off-limits on posted private land, and no swimming, dog or accessibility rule has been published.
