About

Rainbow Falls is a waterfall in St. Lawrence County, New York, sitting at about 1,168 feet. The nearest town is Star Lake, roughly 10 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 79°F with lows near 55°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at Wanakena. That station sits a few hundred feet higher than the falls, so temperatures at the falls may run slightly warmer. Twin Falls Cliff, a climbing area, is about 2.6 miles away. Stammer Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 9 miles off.
