An approximately 50-foot cascade on Shelving Rock Brook in the Lake George Wild Forest of the southeastern Adirondacks. A short half-mile walk from the roadside parking area reaches the falls, which lie near the shore of Lake George.
At 50 ft, it stands above roughly 42% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
The falls are fed by Shelving Rock Brook. You'll find it in Washington, New York. It is protected within NYSDEC (Lake George Wild Forest).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Fort Ann, the closest town.
When to go: spring. Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
