The history of Skaneateles Falls is deeply intertwined with the power of its waterways, a legacy that continues to shape its character and economy. For generations, the rushing waters of Skaneateles Creek, tumbling down from the higher elevations, powered mills that were once the lifeblood of the settlement, processing lumber and grain.
