Location: South central Cattaraugus County, Allegany State Park.
Bridal Falls is rarely mentioned in Allegany State Park literature because it dries to a trickle during the summer months. The waterfall is found on a tributary stream of Stoddard Creek about half a mile upstream from the entrance to the Red House Tent & Trailer Area. The unnamed tributary stream flows over a cliff of Salamanca Conglomerate and falls 39 feet. The waterfall faces to the south east and has a two foot wide crest.
Enter the park from Exit 19 on Route 86. Stop by the Red House Administration Building, found on the west side of Red House Lake, and ask for directions to the falls.
The photo to the left was taken in 1988.
