About Montour Falls

Tucked just three miles south of Seneca Lake, Montour Falls is best known for the dramatic 156-foot waterfall that drops right at the end of Main Street. Living here offers a quiet, small-village feel surrounded by the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes, along with direct access to the Catharine Valley Trail for walking and biking. With Watkins Glen right next door, residents can easily enjoy lakeside restaurants, boating, and nearby state parks while keeping a relaxed, close-knit community to come home to.
