The Cranberry Lake Waterfall Tour encompasses six easy-to-reach falls along a 20-mile drive. A couple of the waterfalls can be seen from the road, a couple require a short hike to reach, and one, Lampson Falls, is wheelchair accessible. The tour can be done in an afternoon, but it's more fun to take an entire day so there's time to fully enjoy each. Some of the falls are quite dramatic, while others have a gentle slope — all are worth checking out! To start the tour, follow Route 3 east from Natural Bridge about 44 miles, then turn left on Tooley Pond Road. This road is about a mile before Cranberry Lake and just after a bridge over the Oswegatchie River. (NOTE: Starting directions on the website are from Tupper Lake. Turn LEFT off Route 3 to start the tour.)
