Pratts Falls Park

Pratt's Falls is a great county park. It's quiet but beautiful. There's a variety of trails from really basic where you just look over the top of the falls, to trails + stairs to the bottom, to walking in the forest or even around some fields. Summer time it's a confusing $2 donation/fee. Which is it? One sign says donation, one sign says fee. Can't be both. Winter time (Nov to March) the park "closes" which means people park at the gate and go in with their dogs, cross country skis and snowshoes. There are pavilions and places to grill. There's some roads that are ok for a stroller but most of the trails would be bumpy. There's an archery range and even some races there to. Love this park!

Pratts falls is absolutely worth going to. The falls are beautiful and a very easy walk, even for small children. There are wide open picnic areas, well maintained restrooms, and easy to locate and follow trails. It's not what a more experienced hiker might prefer, but it's really great for families

This is one of my top three parks in the greater Syracuse area. Several miles of decent, well marked hiking trails, and it's never really crowded. This park is popular with dog walkers, so if you're dog phobic you might want to go someplace else. There is an archery range with hay bales set up for target practice. There used to be a hikeable archery course set up throughout the woods with targets set at varying distances but I don't think that is maintained anymore. There is a covered pavilion with picnic tables and a stone fireplace/grill. In wintertime the park is popular with cross country skiers and snowshoes, and on occasion the park is used for Biathlon events.

Always enjoyable. We love to take walks there, and it's a good place to take the dogs for some exercise as well.
