About

Canajoharie Falls is a waterfall in Montgomery County, New York, about half a mile from the village of Canajoharie. It sits at roughly 440 feet of elevation. Summer and early fall are the mildest times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 78°F and September highs near 69°F with lows around 50°F. That station sits about 900 feet higher than the falls, so temperatures at the waterfall may run somewhat warmer. The closest neighbor is the Erie Canalway Trail (Canajoharie to Amsterdam), about 1.3 miles away. For paddling, Otsquago Creek lies roughly 10 miles off.
