Hamilton, Saratoga County Waterfall Trip 5-10-2015

Hamilton, Saratoga County Waterfall Trip 5-10-2015

Hamilton, Saratoga County Waterfall Trip 5-10-2015

This was a wonderful day for a road trip. We had 12 waterfall locations planned. We accomplished 10 of the locations. We by passed two based on time. The round trip travel was approximately 257 miles. Two of these locations are revisits for me and the others are new to me. We met up with a young Lady and her daughter at Whiskey Brook and they followed us along to Austin Falls. I wished that I had grabbed her name. Also at Austin Falls there was a couple of young guys that were planning on kayaking the section, but we had a mission for the day, and moved on. I still have to get together the rest of the information on these locations. They will be posted soon along with more pics of the falls.

The Rifts, Hamilton County, New York
Could not locate anything for this one!

Christine Falls, Hamilton County, New York

We were unsure of accessing this waterfall from the power plant road. The gate was open, but there was posted signs everywhere. I jotted the number down, tried to call to get permission, but hello.. no cell reception!! We did find this from the Route 8 side. You could see a trail, as well as parking here. However, you could also see that it was posted, even though the posted signs were well worn and barely readable. I will wait and get formal permission for access.

The following were locations that I wanted to check out and see what I would find.

Smokey Hollow Falls, Herkimer County, New York. This small waterfall is located in Smokey Hollow, and I am not sure of the proper name. There is no access to get down in as it is posted, roadside view only.

Black Creek Reservoir is located in Herkimer County, New York. The property all around this is now posted. The landowner took the time and walked us in to this and was telling us that the dam was taken down about 12 years ago. He also did confirm information regarding a small waterfall further upstream, and suggested I go back and he would take me to it. I took a few extra photos of the area as I was impressed by the fact that where we were standing once was completely all water.

Today was another eventful day!

Our first stop was Prospect Quarry Falls located in Herkimer County, New York, yet access from the Oneida County side.

I had visited this location before but was actually up on the bridge, viewing down on it. This is way more beautiful up close.

Wilmurt Falls is located in Herkimer County, New York There is a small park here, but the road and access is heavily posted. We had to park down the road, just off on a seasonal highway and walk back up to the bridge.

Guppy Falls deserved a post of it’s own. This is located in the Skaneateles Conservation Area. There is a kiost at the parking area, with large map, as well as you can pick up a paper trail map of the area.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

There is two different trails to access the falls. We chose to take the streambed in to get to the bottom of the falls. The other trail leads you up a set of stairs and to the above overlook. This took us about 30 minutes to walk into the falls.

The first thing we noticed was the uncountable number of eggs in the streambed. We only seen one frog!

I CALLED THIS ONE JAMESVILLE QUARRY DAM, AS THAT WAS THE LOCATION. I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR AN ACTUAL WATERFALL IN THE SAME GENERAL LOCATION.
