Baxter State Park is one of the most visited parks in the state, but it’s full of lesser-known things to see. If you have the right directions and a sense of adventure, you’re likely to find something new where you can explore the natural landscape on your own. Niagara Falls is one of these wonderful, hidden spots. The fun thing about this hike is that there are two ways to reach the falls – either a short, easy and direct hike or one that includes a fun paddle through a lake in the summer.
To reach these beautiful falls, you'll make your way to Baxter State Park.
Enter at the Togue Pond Gatehouse, where you'll register. Go left where the road splits, then head 10 miles towards the Kidney Pond Campground. Make a left, then go less than a mile where you'll park in the day use parking lot at the campground.
Little Niagara and Big Niagara are located at Nesowadnehunk Stream south of Lily Pad Pond.
For those who are looking for a quicker option, you'll want to follow the Appalachian Trail along the Nesowadnehunk Stream from Daicey Pond Campground.
