Lick Brook Falls is a multi-tiered woodland cascade within a short, shaded preserve—ideal for intimate waterfall and forest compositions. Visit after rain for higher flows or in late fall for colorful foliage; frozen sculptures in winter offer dramatic alternatives. Trail is relatively short but can be steep and muddy; roadside parking on Elmira Rd, no fee. Best light: soft morning or overcast for even exposures; avoid harsh midday sun.
