Five Notable Hikes, Tinker Falls Labrador Pond Overlook
The Five Notable Hikes of New York’s portion of the NCNST showcase some of the most expansive and interesting scenery in the state. And, with this hike series, Trail users can explore all five locations in a group setting with experienced North Country Trail hike coordinators.
This hike between Tully and Fabius on Route 91 begins with a sturdy climb to the place locals refer to as the “Hang Glider’s Leap” near the summit of Jones Hill, which offers an impressive view of Labrador Pond and the Labrador Unique Area, as well as most of the Tully Valley. This is a hike with options, the most enterprising of which leads back down the hill to the top of Tinker Falls, a 50-foot waterfall with an overhang that can be passed under in spring, summer, and fall. The main loop is a 5.6-mile round trip.
Registration is required and capacity is limited. Registration for this hike is open as of May 9.
