WATERY WEDNESDAY # 30 HAVANA GLEN


HAVANA GLENN PARK NEAR MOHTOUR FALLS,NY



At Havana Glen Park, McClure Creek heading for Catherine Creek the main inlet to Seneca Lake, is squeezed by towering cliffs into a narrow channel.


Near the falls, called Eagle Cliff Falls, the headlong rush of the creek calms as the falls-carved amphitheater opens more creek bed. The falls is positioned in a beautiful setting, clearly marking the passage of time.




After summer thunderstorms the creeks in central New York rise quickly, before slowly retreating a few days later. Water clarity usually returns rapidly since the stream beds are rock solid.






The trail, after entering the woods from an open picnic area, virtually overhangs the creek.
The roar of McClure Creek, thunderstorm swollen, echoes off cliff walls. Rushing, tumbling, agitated, the water hypnotically draws you towards it. The effect is intriguing.
