Bucktail Falls in Preble, New York is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads to the 25-foot tall waterfall, Bucktail Falls.
Walk Description
This is not a hike and barely a walk, as Bucktail Falls can be enjoyed right from the parking turn-out; however, for those willing to explore around the creek, this is a beautiful spot to take a short walk. Bucktail Falls spills over bedrock that appears to have been carved out by mining activity, likely in the late 1800's or earl 1900's. Hikers can walk right up to the base of the waterfall or walk around the creek below to get a different perspective.
Parking
There's a tiny parking turn-out at the coordinates provided along Moon Hill Road; however, it's only large enough to fit 1 vehicle as of July 2023. Please be respectful of this private neighborhood and only park along turn-outs on Moon Hill Road that can accommodate your vehicle, assuming the 1 parking turn-out for the waterfall is full.
Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and should be cleaned up after.

Before you leave...
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
