This is a large cascading waterfall with some intense rapids right before it. After the falls it opens up into a pool where you can lie down right into the waterfall. I was told there were some more places to swim downstream, but with lack of time in the day I only came to High […]
This is just a small beach that we found by accident, but would be a nice place to picnic. You can park on a short dirt road off of route 27- if you’re headed towards Malone it will be on the left hand side and there is a brown and white sign reading “Chasm Falls […]
This area is public access but the park sign has been removed. You can still see the remnants of the standard park sign- the brown painted wood with a T and a long arm-but the sign is gone. If you are coming from Junction Road the dirt road will be on your left, and if […]
We found this location while looking for a campsite, and it is technically a boat launch with some primitive campsites in the woods around it. Moose Pond Road is quite rough, and your car could get stuck if there has been rain. At the end of the road is a small parking lot, and the […]
High Falls is an impressive 120 ft. multi-tiered waterfall that cuts through the surrounding rocks and cliffs. The top of the falls is a dam, before which the river is calm, wide and deep. Up top I encountered a few fishermen who said there is good swimming above and some places to jump into the […]
Park in the Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort, and walk up the road in between the main lodge and the education center. Once you pass the educational center you’ll see a sign for Stag Brook trail. You’ll come across the largest fall pretty quickly, which is probably about 50 ft., with no pool. There is a […]
There is a parking lot with two large stone monuments, and trails leading to the river. If you follow along the guard rail, there is a small 4 ft waterfall leading into deeper gouged out area, that is very pretty. You can easily see the small fall from the road on 87, and we don’t […]
Off of Route 86, use the parking area marked “Copperas Pond.” From the parking lot, cross over 86 and follow the trail marked for Copperas Pond. This is only about a 1/2 mile hike, but it is steep, and there is a lot of scrambling over rocks and roots. It is on an incline all […]
This is a public boat launch and picnic are between the two lakes, and we didn’t observe people swimming, though there are no signs prohibiting it. Some sources do list this as a place people swim though. The entrance to the parking lot is marked but it is VERY hard to see coming from the […]
Park in the lot marked Giant Mountain/Roaring Brook, and follow the trails marked for “Roaring Brook” and “Base of the Fall,” which is about a .3 mile hike. This is a “See” location, and the base of the fall doesn’t have a pool, though I suppose you could “shower” under it. This is an unusual […]
