Description

Stockbridge Falls is a series of waterfalls in Madison County, near Stockbridge, New York, that extend roughly 1 mile (1.6 km). Over that span, Oneida Creek falls around 300 feet (91 m). [2]

Most of the land surrounding the waterfall is privately owned, but they can be viewed from a local road. [2]

History

In the 20th century, the waterfall was a popular site to visit. The Syracuse Herald-Journal reported in 1906 that it was "one of the most beautiful spots in Madison County" and popular among photographers. [3] By the 1930s, there was "considerable" construction around the falls, as individuals constructed homes and camps. [4]
