Pelkys Falls

About

Pelkys Falls is a waterfall in St. Lawrence County, New York, sitting at about 905 feet. The nearest town is Colton, roughly 10 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Colton show July highs around 80°F with lows near 58°F, and September still runs in the low 70s. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the falls, so temperatures at the waterfall may run slightly cooler. Climbers will find several areas within about 7 miles, including Twin Falls Cliff, Far East and Rick Ross Boulder. Paddlers can head to Elm Creek, about 10 miles away.
