I am a single mother of three children, a grandmother to three children. My favorite hobby is visiting as many waterfalls as I can, while I can. My goal is to see at least 30 waterfalls in a years time. Listed here on my website are only places I have actually been to. I am in hopes that one of my children or grandchildren will continue with this long after I am gone. We started this adventure around 1990. I have just started to put together this website, and will continue adding on a regular basis.

As you are walking down the road you will see several small cascades and some can be seen from the road. A short scramble/bushwhack will lead you to another waterfall here N43.83862 W74.89346 Please use caution in this area. Not a good location for children. For the main waterfall, the trail is easy and short. You can continue on the trail to the base of the waterfall. It is steep in some spots, and close to the edge of the waterfall.

This is a moderate to difficult hike. Give yourself at least 2 hours. You will be walking the stream bed most completely all the way. Use caution as it is slippery and dangerous in spots.
