HISTORY & THE REGION

Montour Falls is a quaint community located a few minutes drive from the popular destination of Watkins Glen. Shequaga Falls (pronounced She-qua-ga) AKA Montour Falls is a 165-foot tall waterfall located right in the heart of Montour Falls, New York. Shequaga in the Seneca language means "Tumbling Waters".

From the parking area on South Genesee Street, it’s only a couple hundred feet to the best viewing area for the falls as well as the start/finish of the race event.
