A roughly 60-foot horsetail cascade on the Adirondack Mountain Reserve property near St. Huberts in the High Peaks region, reached by a multi-mile hike along the AMR trail network. Access requires an advance parking reservation from May 1 through October 31.
Its 60 ft drop is taller than about 48% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Its water comes from Ausable River drainage. It lies in Essex, New York. The site is on public land managed by Adirondack Mountain Reserve / Ausable Club.
This is a backcountry waterfall: a remote, long, or permit-required trek for prepared visitors. This one is deep enough in that you should plan for a full backcountry trip — map, water, and a margin of daylight. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 6.4 miles round trip. The nearest town is Keene Valley.
When to go: spring. Flow usually peaks after snowmelt and heavy rain and tapers through late summer — a quick look at recent streamflow and the managing agency's conditions page can save a wasted trip.
