Aresthusa Falls

The trail starts at the end of Arethusa Falls Rd, across the railroad tracks (the scenic railroad runs spring through fall and caution should be used while crossing the train tracks. The trail continues into the woods with an option to follow Bemis Brook for a nice hike next to the stream. Continue straight on the Arethusa Falls trail following a logging road and gaining some elevation before a bridge crossing a brook. After about a mile you will reach a sign for a spur trail to Arethusa Falls. Take a left and descend (steeply) for .2 miles until you reach the falls. To return go back up the spur trail to the junction and retrace your trail back down the Arethusa Falls Trail. Opt for the Arethusa-Ripley Trail to Frankenstein Cliff Trail for a 4.3 mile adventure with more waterfalls and cliff top views!   Submitted by: Elizabeth Wall
