High Tor Wildlife Management Area

State-managed wildlife area at the south end of Canandaigua Lake encompassing Conklin's Gully, a creek walk to a 120-foot waterfall known as Angel Falls

Ontario County

High Tor Wildlife Management Area encompasses the wooded hillsides and gorge systems at the southern end of Canandaigua Lake, managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for wildlife habitat and multi-use recreation. The primary hiking destination within the WMA is Conklin's Gully, also known as Parish Glen, where a creek walk through a shale-bedded streambed leads to Angel Falls, a 120-foot cascade that ranks among the taller waterfall drops in Ontario County. The approach involves a moderate-to-difficult creek walk on shale; water shoes or waterproof boots are necessary. Additional smaller falls from one to thirty feet appear along the route. The WMA also abuts Clark's Gully, a gorge system at the lake's southern tip that holds particular significance in Seneca oral tradition as part of the Nundawao landscape. Open year-round; no admission fee.
