Hector Falls is a compact, scenic waterfall in the Finger Lakes region—ideal for moody cascades, misty textures, and creek-side composition. Best light is mid-morning to early afternoon (cleaner reflections) or late afternoon for warmer tones; spring/snowmelt brings higher, more dramatic flow. Free roadside access; parking is limited—arrive early on weekends.
