As you can see here Google imagery showed falls here, but there was no falls. I asked a couple of folks that were fishing from the tracks when was the last time they had seen any amount of water running, and they said next to never. I am not sure at this time when they would be.

The map below shows a good portion of the route that I had tracked.
This is where we parked, which was the start point of the tracking. (Note: We did not go to the end of Double Eddy Road to park, as there was no room to park at the time) From there we took the trail which comes out to the bottom of the second falls.
Above alternate parking
Above is the trail
When we got to the end of the trail we wanted to start from the put in at the first dam. The trail length is less then .1 mile.
Taylorville Dam aka Taylorville Falls
Above the Put In
(Above) Looking downstream from the small walk bridge at the Put In
This is the second dam. Taylorville Lower Falls
The 2 dams combine and flow into a section called the Beaverator IV-Rapids
In the photo above I tried capturing one of the guys coming thru, the next guy went under but came out okay.
Above shows the section to the right of the second dam, viewed from the main trail.
(Above) We are approaching the top of the Great White Slide Section. The following photos are of the Great White Slide area.
The following photos were taken down along the trail to where there was a picnic table. Note: In the photo above, where the tree line is at back end of photo is where the picnic area is.) Just continue down the trail from the bottom of the Great White Slide.
(Above) This is the trail viewed from the picnic area.
The next set of photos are taken at the picnic area. This section I believe is the Dogleg III Rapids and Mindscrambler III Rapids section. I took photos from the top, and then we walked around further down to get some lower views.
It was at this point we back tracked and went to our vehicle and drove down to the take out on Taylorville Road. Which is at the power plant. Silly me also thought I was still tracking, BUT did not turn it back on, so I will do my best to detail.
To view the Take Out section, and to view the Powerline Boof IV Rapids Section from the bottom. From the parking area you will walk through the gate and continue straight ahead following the small path to the river.
(Above) This is on your right before going through the gate. You will have the power plant on your left, the river straight ahead and then if you go right before the fence line the short graveled road leads to the canoe boat launch area.
The next set of photos are taken at the Take Out site.
The next set of photos are also taken from the Take Out section looking upstream towards Powerline Boof IV Rapids Section.
From here we back tracked back towards the parking area. When you reach the gate, turn and walk right along the fence line and follow the penstock a short distance. You will see a small path that leads again back to the river. The following photo is a visual from where I was standing at the trail that leads down to the river, and I am looking back up towards the parking area.
These photos are of the Powerline Boof IV Rapids Section
To explore this whole section from start to finish took us about 2 1/2 hours. For actual walking distance in both areas maybe about 1 1/2 miles.

It has been a seemly long summer. I have not had the chance to see new waterfalls or make a road trip. I do have a tentative one planned for the upcoming weekend. I have had some changes in my life, and had some re adjusting to do.
In the meantime, I have been working on some changes to the website, which will not yet take place for a few more months.
I did however, hit a burn out phase on researching and plotting waterfalls to visit. But, at least that part is done, and can quickly pull out a road trip.
I am also working on a side project, which also came to a stand still. History along with the research of is a downfall for me, but I am getting it done.
So with this, I thank all my followers and reader for re visiting my website. Hope everyone has enjoyed their summer! Check out the up coming events in the Adirondacks!! Lots of things going on for the whitewater folks as well.

I believe by the photos, that the Bridge Boof IV Rapids may also be the same as Hidden Falls

FAT LADY IV-RAPIDS on INDEPENDENCE RIVER
Fat Lady is located in the section below the Independence River Falls. The photos are included under the Independence River Falls.
The Wall IV Rapids and the Independence river (falls on) are located downstream from the bridge. I firmly believe I had viewed the latter from the other road, as can see by the tracking.
THE WALL IV-RAPIDS on INDEPENDENCE RIVER
This section are the photos I had taken when we took the trail on the west side of the river, going as far as we could just below the dam. Another trip is planned to this location taken the trail on the east side to go further upstream for the other falls listed here.
