Holley Canal Falls in Holley
Beautiful small park way out in the country. Off the beaten path.
This place is Amazingly beautiful!If you notice that water fall from Holley Canal Fall are 100% from Erie Canal !You can explore this place around are great place for picnic or just spend time for Fishing😍😍
I used to go down to the falls every day as a youngster.. It had been 15 years before i saw this place again.. Its very picturesque. Much more so than the old days. More paths, better views. Cool place.
Plan was just to see the waterfall and come back, but plans changed and ended up hiking the whole way. This is indeed a hidden gem! Such a beautiful fall. Please don’t forget to hike to the top and you can see the fall from top as well.
I love the canal falls. The main trail is great for a nice stroll but is also good for a brisk or speed walk. Today I watched some folks fishing for salmon, of which there were many., some fairly large. Two of the fishing folks snagged one each while I was there. The leaves are in great color now. Also looking forward to what the town has in mind for the excavation of the old canal loop.
Very scenic and quiet park! Can even do some fishing at the base of the waterfall
Beautiful place with a few trails that lead to over watching the falls. These are small falls and the trail path is short so its great for small children.
A nice little town park along the Erie Canal in Holley, NY. Waterfall, hiking and biking trails, picnic areas and pavilions, playground. The public restrooms were closed when we visited because of Covid19 restrictions.
I really liked the hike. Pretty waterfall. Easily viewable
Charming little park in Holley NY. Man-made waterfall fed by the Erie canal. Walking trails are gravel and easy, only slight inclines if you stick with them. Pavilion and picnic area for gatherings. You could easily spend an afternoon here just soaking it all in.
Been here before if picnic area, great for walking and hiking d the Erie Canal thats close by, the park is great! One of my favorite spots close to home!
Wonderful place for walking. Good parking. Falls are beautiful. Picnic tables and benches.
I have done several photo sessions here and the view is absolutely amazing. The falls is awesome and stunning. Theres a bridge and some rocks that are great. Theres a wooded area in the back that is great for photos too. If youre looking to get photos done, I highly recommend this place. My name is Seeloff Photography.
Beautiful waterfall and picturesque scenery. We walked back to find the source if the waterfall. I love this place
Beautiful, serene. Lots of paths to walk are bring a blanket and have a picnic in front of the Falls!!
Amazing scenery! I will definitely recommend this quiet place for families to come and spend some quality time in this beautiful waterfall and scenery.
Great place. Nice trails, nice picnic areas. Lots of people fishing and not catching anything!
Worth going to see. Take a lunch and sit at one of the picnic tables. Enjoy the beautiful falls
Lovely, family friendly place to visit. Have a picnic, walk a trail, there is plenty of nature to enjoy at this beautiful hidden treasure.
Beautiful little park! Signage could be better to help direct you to the falls on foot -- its not marked on the map/sign near the canal and was hard to see the path with so much snow. Overall beautiful and peaceful though!
This place is my go-to spot to relax or unwind after a stressful day. The water looks best after a day of rain before your visit. Its stunning in the lighting during autumn evenings.
Falls was created in the 1820s when DeWitt Clintons Canal was built. I was part of the Village crew that started making it into a park back in the early 1980s.
Beautiful little Park, Great for fishing and having a wonderful time with the family
Nice little park with lots to look at and do. Its the Canal, falls are pretty and theres a small pond and creek. Lots of places to fish. There is a short walking trail, just the right length for my 6 and 8 year-old, that goes through the woods. (There are small trails that veer off near the edge, so be careful, but the main trail is safe.)Nice playground with swings. Bathroom is near the canal parking lot, was clean and nice.
I feel like this is my own private hiking trail ⛲️with a man-made waterfalls
This is a very nice stop to quickly and easily see a waterfall.
Pictures dont do this waterfall justice! Also venture around Holley. Theres some cute shops, farmers markets, and diners.
Ice Mass with some water flowing over. It was 22 when I was there. Thanks Holley for keeping it plowed. Park is technically closed until April 1st so being plowed is a treat. Thanks
Great little place yo drive to or come off the canal from a ride or a hile
Amazing park with falls, trails, canal.
Such a beautiful place to just get away
Wonder what this place will look like in 2 weeks when the colors Peak?
Beautiful falls in a small party in Holley. Great halfway stop on a bike ride.
Great foliage and spawning salmon in early October
Its a truly peaceful and scenic place no matter the season.
Small but beautiful little park. Great place for a picnic.
Pretty little spot. Perfect for a picnic. Hiking trail up to erie canal.
Beautiful little park! Waterfalls, a cute bridge over the water, fishing for all, this park is a great respite from the world! Fantastic!
The red dirt was a fun surprise! Not something that you see everyday. Being at the top of the waterfall was exhilarating and tranquil; to watch the water cascade from a high perspective was mesmerizing. The main trail loop can be walked quickly but you could spend hours here walking the many branching and looping trails - there are a lot of them to explore. Also, you can make a quick detour and be on the canal trail!
Nice and quiet, really well maintained.
Such a pretty picnic worthy Park with beautiful scenery and roaring falls!
I was dissapointed but maybe its just not what I was looking for. It was a beautiful day and I wanted an easier hiking trail to enjoy it. You can drive right up to the falls, so no trail to walk. It was crowded and hard to get a picture without stangers in it. It was stinky (?) There must have been sewer access nearby. The falls were beautiful, but the rest of the experience made it not worth the drive.
Its a beautiful family friend place to picnic go fishing or watch the beautiful Falls flow over quacks and see beautiful trees change color in the fall
Wonderful little park and beautiful falls. People fishing and having picnics. Small but nice.
Very beautiful! Lots of hiking trails surrounding the falls. Nice park nearby with a small playground, a pond and access to the Erie canal.
Love having picnics here
Beautiful place to chill, cool falls! Had my daughters bridging ceremony for girl scouts here and have come here hiking many times. Great place to walk your dog!🌻🌄
Nice town. The boat dock is top notch, treated lumber and in good repair. There are restrooms with showers, and the dock has a pump out. There is a park just steps away with rolling hills covered in trees along with a pond and fairly large waterfall.
Very beautiful Falls with a nice walking trail that take around and up to look over the top of the Falls. Also the Erie Canal is right there too.
Aka Canal Park on Gmaps.This Falls park is separate from the Holley Canal Park up the hill from here. Its entrance is hidden behind the Holley Apothecary & Village garage, downhill curvy driveway.Only uphill walking trails connect the 2 parks. Theres falls-side picnic tables, benches & a big pavilion across the wooden ♿ accessible bridge & walking trails alongside the water above & below the falls. Fishing is allowed & theres a porta john on site.Many people have held their wedding photo shoots here with the falls. This wooded glen park offers a lot of shade, along with the open full sun falls. Playground for kids & upper park is only accessible by uphill walking trails or going around to the main Canal Park entrance at the end of Perry St.
Beautiful place! Camping for the night beside the canal. Listening to the falls, so peaceful! The locals were friendly, nice conversations & helpful. The park and our site were very well kept. Police drove by a few times to check up.Family from Wisconsin, passing thru to Maine. Thanks for having us!
Gorgeous, Well Kept !!!
The walk by the canal is amazing. Very less people visit this place it gives you a lot of peace. There are a couple of benches to sit near the waterfall area and the look is so serene and beautiful. A must visit for people who love nature.
Beautiful waterfall in Holley NY! Must see!
We stared going here back as Teenagers when it was just woods , Now it is an Amazing Park that has become the Pride of the Area. Every October while I do my fall Motorcycle ride around NY I stop on the park for Lunch. Just a very Beautiful and Relaxing spot!!! Great Job Holly!!!
Great location spectacular view of falls I actually had my wedding ceremony there, sons graduation photos and senior prom photos.
By far one of my favorite places. Between the beauty and the fishing, it just can’t be beat!!
Very nice trail around the falls, also leading along the canal and into the business district
My husband and I went to see the band Live Bait and we had a great time. The band was awesome, they had a great crowd. The shows are free and you can get hamburgers hot dogs or Italian sausage and drinks for a very reasonable price.
Love this place. Camped there two days. Patrolled and has a shower. Great place to visit free. Very peaceful and quiet. The falls are very beautiful. Watch out for small snakes in the rocks walking over to the falls
Awh, this is a beautiful place. I absolutely loved it. Very calm and peaceful.
Cute little park tucked back behind the town. You can get pretty close to the falls but I wouldnt go wading around in it.
Just went there the other day with my son. So clean and beautiful, the park is well maintained . Deffinetly a pleasure always visiting Holley Canal and seeing the falls,going hiking ,and just having a picnic .
A really nice park with the canal, falls, picnic area and playground all in a short walk. Nice restrooms too.
Such a cool little park!! Easy to get to and get around. Well maintained, and very scenic!! A great spot for a quiet, short walk.
It was absolutely gorgeous.
Beautiful setting, hidden gem!!
We held our son and future daughter-in-laws bridal shower here. We had amazing weather. The site was clean and large enough to fit in everone under the pavilion. We really needed either a larger grill or an additional one. Im not a fan of port-a-potties at all so if you arent either be sure to take business before you go there. But lets face it, Holley Canal Falls is a beautiful place to spend some time, no matter the occasion. Ill be back again and again.
Its great place, natural beauty.
Great place for a picnic or hike and fishing. Gets some salmon in it. Has a playground and backs up to the Erie Canal. Awrsome place to go for the day with kids.
Parking is up close to the falls, its not to crowded and the trails are easily accessible. Just enough tables, but only one grill.
Picnic with my hubby and hike
Its free to go. Nice park. Kids wading in the basin of falls.Beautiful falls
Beautiful scenery aswell as some good fishing spots.
You can easily walk the main trails and enjoy lovely views, but you can also find challenging hills and side trails that will uncover even more beauty.
Nice little park, several picnic tables, good views of falls, accessible walking trails, several people salmon fishing, not enough parking places.
Great for salmon fishing and just a beautiful place well taken care of.
Went to see if the salmon run was still happening. All I saw was 4 fish swimming aimlessly around the basin ....
Gorgeous falls. Great, long walk ideal to take with family. Its a wonderful, scenic place to be. Ive been there many times and theres always something new to see.
This was a really fun place to hang out/hike. The falls were pretty dry when I went, but Im sure its even more beautiful when theres more water.
I absolutely love this place
Picturesque fall with a well maintained adjacent park and good facilities for boaters traveling Erie Canal. Recommend for a stop if you are passing through the area.
It was surprisingly beautiful right there in the village. One of the most serene and peaceful places Ive been. Will definitely go back again and again.
This is a beautiful location and a great spot to spend some time. You should come in the fall and check out the foliage.
Nice quiet beautiful little waterfalll.
Cute clean park to adventure for a short time
Nice park. Great place to fish. Very clean park. The falls are beautiful.
Beautiful not only during summer and Autumn months but spectacular during winter months as well. This tucked away gem is a must see in the small town!
So beautiful and sereneWould recommend you go its worth the trip
Beautiful place has 1 grill and a pavilion but 3 picnic tables and 5 benches.
Nice little park not much of a waterfall at the end of July but I am sure it would be spectacular in the spring and maybe the fall
A wonderful and well kept park. Plenty of seating, some trails, and if course a beautiful waterfall.
Saw spawning salmon. Nice place for pictures.
What beautiful place for a relaxing visit for adults and children alike, and so unexpected as it is well tucked away behind the Holley DPW!
Nice,.. Quiet.... Pretty.... Well kept. Ill go again soon.
Path to the falls is not clearly marked,but the falls are beautiful!
Beautiful water fall wonderful trail for you and the entire family to go out and enjoy nature at it best .

The view was nice but i backed my car into a ditch and had to get a tow truck to pull me out
Very nice park with a pretty waterfall. Would love to come back and picnic there in the summer!
A lot of people dont realize how big this park is and it is very beautiful I highly recommend walking around the falls in the morning just after the Sun rises
Pretty falls in a park next to the canal. Well worth a trip.
Absolutely beautiful
Always a nice stop. It lacks local amenities since the grocery store closed. Parks are well maintained and the docks are in good condition
A great place to hike around and take some beautiful pictures.

Lovely little town with a beautiful water fall. We rode from Holly to Brockport on the towpath.
Beautiful falls. Man made falls too. There is a trail going to the Erie canal.
Always flowing waterfall if u follow the flow of the water upstream u can see where the water comes from its unexpected and pretty cool
Holleys best kept secret. Lovely place to take the family or even just walk the dog!
Best time ever, I really enjoyed the experience.

Not much of hiking trails. Geocaches were not to good either.

Residents near entrance of park sitting on porch drinking and fighting. Probably a nice place 50 years ago.

2022-05-20Just over the border of Monroe County into Orleans lies this treasure, a small park featuring a beautiful waterfall. Its usually quiet and not very busy. One of my favorite places to get away.

2022-02-04Just beautiful. Needed the walkway shoveled, but I believe it is seasonal upkeep.
Review №3
2021-08-13This was a really nice Falls. I did not read it at 4 star because I would like it to be fresh clean water that you can stand under and I like to be able to take a long hike to the falls. This was in a park sitting.
Review №4
2022-06-24It’s nice. Bring bug spray. Fishing is okay depending on season and water level. The falls are really pretty for picture taking. Kid friendly area. No playgrounds or anything but just a nice place to have a picnic or walk down the side trails. There is usually a porta potty in the parking lot. Not a huge parking lot but comfortable for many visitors. Police frequent the area a lot so it’s fairly safe. Plus nobody bothers anyone. Friendly people. People having fun. Not a spot to spend a whole day unless you plan to fish for a while, take a walk, picnic and fish more.

2022-03-08Great place to get pictures. Especially in the winter with the ice formations around the falls.
Review №6
2021-07-07Its a small but nice waterfall, if your in the local area and like waterfalls then I would check it out. You can drive right up to it. They have some picnic benches, fishing and a few other things around or near it.Went back to the falls again a 2nd time, they have trials that take you up to the top of the falls. However there are no signs or maps to show you how to navigate around.As we walked around you can see the water fall is most likely man made.

2020-09-27We took the short hike around the back of the falls and saw so many beautiful creatures! Frogs, chipmunks, blue Heron! Gorgeous park trail which leads to the canal. Then we strolled through the adorable town to get back to the park. It looks like a movie set. Really nice way to spend a day.
