Grimsley’s Gorge

Grimsley’s Gorge is a fall fright attraction in Phoenix, a village on the Oswego River in Oswego County. The scares are built around a backstory about Dr. Grimsley, a village doctor whose strange experiments went terribly wrong and set off rumors across the village, which is where the attraction gets its spooky legend.

According to the legend, his strange methods left patients with mutations and worse, and he eventually vanished. Villagers began disappearing, rumors placed him in a mansion outside town, and some claimed to see creatures lurking near the Gorge. Those who let curiosity win wander deep inside.
