Ready to experience some upstate NY waterfall magic? 🌊 I hit Naples and the locals’ secret Grimes Glen Park — a spot totally worth hiking boots and a big smile.
Must-See Place: Grimes Glen Park
This is the kind of place you chase waterfalls for real: winding trails, epic gorges, and splash-worthy cascades. The main trail is super easy to follow from the entrance at 4703 Vine St, Naples, NY 14512 (open daily 06:00–21:00). The two big waterfalls are insta gold — but don’t miss the third hidden falls further upstream! Waterproof shoes and a quick-dry towel are your best friends; the trail crosses streams, and you'll want to wade in for the close-up shots.
Personal Tips & Insights: Don’t rush! Go early for empty trails and the soft morning light (perfect for photos). The park is free, parking is no sweat, and it’s family-friendly. Carry water — there’s nowhere to fill up inside. Beware: rocks are slippery, so grip soles matter. If you’re hungry post-adventure, swing by Roots Cafe in town for farm-fresh eats and killer coffee.
Getting Around: Naples is best explored by car, but parking here is easy and free. You can use trip.com to scope out nearby accommodation if you want to stay and soak up more Finger Lakes vibes.
Naples Essentials: No entry fee or permit required, but leave no trace! Weather flips fast — check forecasts before heading out, especially after rains (streams can surge).
