Where the Waterfalls Are

Pulaski sits in or near the Tug Hill and the Black River Country area of New York. The Tug Hill Plateau, east of Lake Ontario, receives some of the heaviest lake-effect snowfall in the eastern United States, and its meltwater feeds streams that cut sharp gorges into layered limestone and shale at the plateau's edges. Salmon River Falls in Oswego County, one of the most reviewed falls in the state, plunges into a broad gorge on the plateau's western side. Lewis County, around Lowville, holds many falls on tributaries descending to the Black River, and Jefferson County's falls lie on rivers flowing toward Lake Ontario. South of the plateau, Onondaga and Madison counties add gorge falls in the hill country near Syracuse. Read the New York waterfall guide.

By direction from Pulaski: 2 to the north, 2 to the northeast, 2 to the east, and 1 to the southeast. They are spread across Oswego County (3), Jefferson County (3), and Lewis County (1). The average distance is 21.9 miles.
