Though it's stacked up against some pretty heavy competition in the "rarely seen" Oneonta Falls and the "canyon challenge" of the Lower Oneonta Falls, it is definitely worth the moderate uphill hike. From the beginning the of the trailhead, to the falls, there is a 610 foot elevation gain.
Oneonta Creek splits into three channels, and drops 85 feet over this classic example of a segmented waterfall.
I did find the falls extremely unique, but finding different vantage points to capture the falls is very limited. You basicially have ONE area to stand to get the falls.
