As residents of the city of Buffalo, we’re never too far away from major natural wonders like Western New York’s waterfalls. While jaw-dropping destinations like Eternal Flame Falls may be right nearby, the actual trek it takes to reach the falls is a trail that isn’t necessarily for everyone. If you’re looking to discover a stunning waterfall without having to do any strenuous work, then take a look at how you can practically drive right up to Shequaga Falls.
Just over two hours from Buffalo, locals of Western New York can make the scenic drive out to Schuyler County to experience a waterfall that’s slightly unusual.

While most of New York’s waterfalls take some adventuring to get to, Shequaga Falls happens to sit right behind the town’s colonial houses and buildings.
Eileen W/TripAdvisor The waterfall’s name comes from its early Native American name, She-Qua-Ga, which translates to “tumbling waters.”
Right near the corner of South Genesee Street and West Main Streets, Shequaga Falls Park is a lesser-known roadside gem that’s worth stopping to see.
