Location: Eastern Central Erie County, Emery Park, South Wales. From the intersection of Route 400 and 16 continue south on Route 16 for 0.4 of a mile and turn right (west) onto Emery Road. Just over one mile from Route 16 you will reach the entrances to the park.

     Emery Park was established in 1925 when the Erie County Parks Commission purchased 175 acres of land from Helen B. Emery. Since then additional purchases have enlarged the park to 489 acres. The park has softball and baseball fields, hiking trails, numerous picnicking areas, and both downhill and cross-country skiing.
     Rather than giving you a lengthy description of the access routes to the falls, I have decided to let you explore the park for yourself. The map below provides the locations of the waterfalls.

     Emery Falls (photo to the      left) is 40 feet high with a 16    foot wide crest.

     South Emery Falls (photo  to the right) is 13 feet high  with a 10 foot wide crest.

     North Emery Falls is 30  feet high with a 10 foot wide  crest.

     Harrigan's Falls is 5 feet    high with a 12 foot wide crest.
