Hector Falls
4.7FreeMarvel at a striking Finger Lakes roadside waterfall along Seneca Lake
Located right along Route 414 on the eastern side of Seneca Lake, Hector Falls is an impressive multi-tiered waterfall cascading down toward the lake. While the upper section of the falls can be conveniently viewed directly from the road bridge, much of the lower waterfall flows across private property down to the water. It provides a scenic and convenient pull-off stop for visitors exploring the Finger Lakes region.
