Thankful for my readers!!
Just a quick post to show gratitude to my readers. As I am preparing my next road trip post, I came across some errors. I would say this came on my part, starting out doing this website as a personal hobby of mine. Choosing to share it, make one double check the information provided. Nothing big, spelling errors, wrong county but correct locations, etc.. None the less, I am thankful for not receiving criticism on them.

Trail Description: Described within
Comments:
Putting together this whole section of Jenny Creek was and still is a bit confusing so I will piece it together as best as possible. When I checked this location out back in 2010, I had only 2 locations with the coordinates for. And those I had gotten from the World Waterfall database. Since then I have gain more knowledge along with better technology. I recently found that the American Whitewater has a page on this section of Jenny Creek. By matching my photos up with theirs along with similar descriptions, I have been able to make some corrections.
The whitewater route starts at Powell Road, south of Hwy 3. When I was there you could not drive on Jayville road all the way, as you come to where the bridge is out. So I did not check out their first 1.3 miles of the route.
1-Mike’s Boof Class III-Gulf Stream
2-Railroad Slide Class III+-Gulf Stream
Beaver Pond/Dam Class I-Gulf Stream
3-This one here I had called Jenny Creek Upper Falls (Footbridge rapid Class III+)
Described as starting under a footbridge and ending behind a camp. Viewing from this is roadside only, private property.
Another Beaver Pond/Dam Class I-Jenny Creek
4-Now this one I had called Jenny Creek Middle Falls, but it falls in the location they called the Ugly Drop-Jenny Creek
You will see a huge rock and smaller rock on top, looks like a huge cairn, on the side of the road. It is a short scramble but the view was hard to get.
5-Middle Section Class IV-Jenny Creek
6-And this one I had called Jenny Creek Lower Falls, and again it falls within the location and photo match with what they called Jayville Rapid Class 5.0/Jayville Slide. This may also be known as Jenny Creek Falls. This is a roadside view.
7-Horrific– which is described as being 30-35 foot drop.-Jenny Creek
8-The Rest Class III they describe one more dangerous section which maybe what resources are calling Jenny Creek Lower Falls.

Road-trip September 27-28 2014 Whiteface Mountain
Well….it was one of those spontaneous decisions to head up north, to see the fall foliage! Destination-Whiteface Mountain….
Got a late start yesterday, getting on the road somewhere around 1:00-1:30pm with a 4 hour drive ahead of us. No plans, no pre-determined stops..just a throw and go….the throw and go, no planning I so much dislike…it was our first stop up at Inlet, that I realized I had grabbed the old camera, which works when it seems to want too….so I suffered with trying to utilize the cell phone. Now mind you….I have not really practiced taking pics for any real purpose with the Iphone.
We managed to hit a couple of new waterfall locations for me. We also re-visited some old ones. Drove by several ones I wanted to hit, but had to remind myself our destination was Whiteface. The new ones were Squaw Brook Falls and Clifford Falls. The re-visited ones were Schroon Falls and Split Rock Falls and the falls on route 73, which I still yet need to verify exact information on. I also took a few more pics of the waterfall you see going up the Whiteface Memorial Highway.
Now, I would like to take a moment and go back to Schroon Falls. We again asked some folks in Schroon Lake if they knew of the whereabouts of Schroon Falls. I have information that there is 2 different locations with different height and distance. I still cannot located the second one.
I am currently behind on getting photos posted here to website. Will try my best to at least get the new ones up.
I just wanted to also share that this trip, was my grandson (6 years old) first actual big climb. This was the trail at the top of Whiteface Mountain. My grandson did awesome with the length of travel time as well. I am so proud of him. Also cannot forget to mention my little Lilabelle (Chihuahua) also made the great climb! I had my hands full, dog in one, grandchild in the other not to mention, water bottle and cell phone and old camera!

St Huberts, Essex County, Northern, New York 8-11-2011 Hike
I am going to do by best here with piecing together the hike in the St Huberts area. This is written up for a few friends that was inquiring on the New York Waterfalls group
We arrived at the trailhead visitor parking area at about 8am. You first have to park in designated area, and then walk down the Ausable Club road to the trail beginning.
We started off by taking the West River Trail. We were going to go to Russell Brook Falls first, but was told at the gate that it was on private property.

Home » St Huberts, Essex County, Northern, New York 8-11-2011 Hike » Beaver Meadows Falls (St Huberts)
Our next stop we came to Rainbow Falls. We arrived here at about 12:36pm
From here we were headed for Fairy Ladder Falls, or so we thought! We crossed over to the East side and headed towards what we thought the trail to Fairy Ladder. Instead we ended up at Fish Hawk Cliffs. We arrived here at about 2:16pm
It was at this point we had to make a decision. We seen no signs pointing the way to Fairy Ladder. What we did not know at the time, was that instead of taking the trail to Fish Hawk Cliff, we should have continued straight on the trail that connects to the Gill Brook Trail and should have gone right. But we did not know this.
We climb back down and got onto the Gill Brook Trail and decided we had to head back out before dark. We got to the Gill Brook trail at about 2:47pm, we were headed for Lake Road. I am glad we did not trackback to get to Lake road or we would have not seen the falls along the Gill Brook including Artists Falls
I believe Artist Falls was one of the first few photos shown here..
Home » St Huberts, Essex County, Northern, New York 8-11-2011 Hike » Artist Falls and Gill Brook Trail (waterfalls on) St Huberts
We got to the gate at about 4:58 pm and headed back to the car.
I hope this will help others that are planning on this hike and are new to the area as we were. Word of advice…do not try this hike when you are sick!!! Holy Cow…we did not sleep well the night before, coughing and feverish and tired before even starting….I was determined to take the hike anyways…brutal!!!
