Mine Kill Falls is an 80-foot cascade on Mine Kill, dropping through a narrow gorge at Mine Kill State Park in Schoharie County, New York.
The falls
The falls cascade down Mine Kill through the gorge below the park. Individual tier measurements and the rock the creek drops over have not been found.
Getting there
Mine Kill State Park is at 161 Minekill Road, North Blenheim, and is managed by New York State Parks. A parking area a quarter mile south of the main park entrance serves overlook platforms and the Long Path, which leads to the lower falls; the park is open year-round from dawn to dusk, with no vehicle entrance fee in 2026, a benefit provided through the New York Power Authority.
On site
Swimming is limited to the park's staffed pool complex, not the falls. Up to two pets are allowed in day-use areas of the park if crated or kept on a leash no longer than six feet. The park's 2026 page shows the boat launch open for the season and reports no closure of the falls trail.
