Buttermilk Falls Details

This is a small but scenic waterfall located just downstream from Blue Hen Falls. To get to the waterfall, there is a rough trail that continues beyond the Blue Hen Falls Overlook and crosses the stream three times. There are no bridges so be careful crossing the stream. Most people agree that it's much more scenic than Blue Hen Falls however because the it's located on the land of the Boston Mills Ski Resort, the National Park Service does not advertise its location.
