Buttermilk Falls Park, a 75-acre park, is located at 199 South Greenbush Road, West Nyack, NY 10994 in Rockland County. The park is maintained in its natural state offering many scenic views with picnic opportunities at the base of the falls. The falls are typically full in early spring and after a rainfall. The land is primarily steep woodland with Buttermilk Falls cascading down the mountain through a gorge that is part of the Palisades ridge. At the top of several scenic overlooks, views span New Jersey to the south, Ramapo Mountains to the west and South Mountain to the north.

A Bit of History
Rockland County purchased the park in 1975. For decades the falls have been a natural attraction for their deep gorge and ravine effects. It is said that in the early 1900's, during his visits to Blauvelt, President Teddy Roosevelt frequently rode horseback in this area stopping at the peak for scenic views.

Directions A trail can be accessed at the entrance of the parking area for Buttermilk Falls County Park on Greenbush Road in West Nyack.
