Delphi Falls (waterfall)

Delphi Falls is a two-tiered waterfall located in the Delphi Falls County Park on the East Branch of Limestone Creek southeast of Delphi Falls and west-southwest of Union. The lower falls are tall, while the upper are.

History

In 2018 the land, which had been privately owned and closed to the public for around fifty years, was purchased with contributions from a retired professor at Syracuse University who lived in Manlius, New York, and the Madison County government.
Delphi Falls County Park was developed and opened in August 2018. In 2018 Madison County was awarded a $500,000 grant for park improvements. The park was closed for a week in July 2020 after repeated violations of park rules. It is often used for wedding photographs, drone filmography, or picnicking. In July 2022 a two-phase program of improvements was announced, initially scheduled to be completed by October that year. It included the construction of a new parking lot, a new bridge below the falls, and further trail development. The cost was estimated at $1.3 million, including $1 million of state grants.
The park fully reopened in June 2025 after work was completed.
