Clarke Falls
About
Clarke Falls is a waterfall in Otsego County, New York, sitting at about 1,512 feet. The nearest town is Springfield Center, roughly 4 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 78°F with lows near 58°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Cherry Valley. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the falls, so temperatures at the waterfall may run slightly cooler. Several other spots lie within a short drive. Cherry Valley Creek, about 4 miles off, offers canoeing. Star Field Trail is about 6 miles away for hiking. Paddlers can also head to the Susquehanna River, about 7 miles out, or the Canadarago Lake Circumnavigation, about 8 miles away.
