Chapel Pond

This is a roadside pull off parking area, with reported swimming.  We believe the parking lot is intended for canoe launches and hikers.  To get to the pond, just walk down the steep bank from the parking area.  This is a very pretty pond, with no houses, and a nice view of a mountain on […]

Boquet River Campsite

There is a parking on the side of the street, both before and after crossing the north branch of the Boquet River, about 1.3 miles north of the rte. 73/9 intersection. From here there is a path on the south side of the river that will basically follow the river upstream, or you can just […]

Shoe Box Falls

There is a parking on the side of the street, both before and after crossing the north branch of the Boquet River, about 1.3 miles north of the rte. 73/9 intersection. There are a few primitive campgrounds just upstream from the road. The one closest to the road on the south side of the river […]

Boquet Falls

There is a parking on the side of the street, both before and after crossing the north branch of the Boquet River, about 1.3 miles north of the rte. 73/9 intersection. From where you park, follow the river downstream about a quarter of a mile and you will come to an area where there is […]

River Road Rope Swing

We found this spot by chance, on our way to visit Bear Slide.  This is a steep little jumping spot on the Hudson with a rope swing and board ladder going up the tree. Tree root steps lead down to the rope swing.  We couldn’t judge the quality of the water or the depth, or […]

Bear Slide

Coming from the south on River Road-2.8 miles from where the pavement ends the road will split, and you want to stay to the left.  You’ll come to a large-ish parking lot (maybe holds 15 cars), stay to the left again and park in lot 6. There is a sign for lot 6 but it […]

Shanty Brook

The parking area for Shanty brook is on Route 8, 8.9 miles north from the junction of Route 8 and Route 30.  It is a fairly large parking lot, but it can be hard to spot because there is tall grass blocking it from view.  The lot is shaped like a half circle and has […]

Black Hole/Dunkley Falls

From where U.S. 9 N and NY-28 split, just north of Warrensburg, follow NY-28 for 7.6 miles. Then turn right on Harrington Rd. for 1.8 miles, you’ll see street side parking on your right and a steep drop going down to a river. Usually there are cars parked here, and a few small signs but can easily […]

Jimmy Creek Falls

If you’re coming from Wells, there is a small pull off on the left hand side, which could fit two or three cars. The parking area is before the road passes over the stream, and the trail leads from here.  The trail follows along the stream, and it is only about a 2 min. hike. […]

Griffin Falls

Coming from the intersection of Route 30 and Route 8, follow Route 8 and take the first left, which you’ll see in about 2.6 miles. Follow this road over a bridge, and then park along the road to the right.  If you walk back towards the bridge, you’ll see that there is another road and […]
