Bouck's Falls, Waterfall in Fulton, New York.
Description
Bouck's Falls is a waterfall in Schoharie County that drops about 170 feet down rocky terrain in multiple stages. The water cascades through several distinct levels, creating a natural formation with pools at each tier.
History
The waterfall takes its name from the Bouck family, with William C. Bouck serving as New York Governor and owning land in the area. The site thus carries the legacy of this prominent local family.
Culture
The waterfall and its surrounding landscape represent the natural heritage of Schoharie County, connecting generations of local residents to their environment.
Practical
Access requires explicit permission from property owners, as the waterfall and surrounding lands remain privately owned. Visitors should contact owners ahead of time before attempting to visit the site.
Did you know?
A major flood in 2011 significantly altered the waterfall's structure and reduced the depth of its lower pools. This natural event reshaped the physical features of the site in lasting ways.
