Buttermilk Falls

About

Buttermilk Falls is a waterfall in Otsego County, New York, about 2 miles from the small town of East Worcester. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. July brings typical highs around 78°F and lows near 58°F, based on averages from a weather station near Cherry Valley that sits lower than the falls, so expect slightly cooler temperatures at the waterfall itself. Several other outdoor spots lie within about 9 miles. Andy's Trail is 7 miles away, and Cherry Valley Creek, a canoeing route, is just under 8 miles off. The Orange Trail and Yellow Trail are both about 9 miles from the falls.
