Love this website and the map!!! I know you have discovered the (unmarked) 15-20 foot fall directly north of the east tip of the “Scenic Loop trail” roughly 1/8th of a mile south of where ‘unnamed creek’ joins the Plotterkill…
I would not have found this gem without your map in conjunction with 3D Google Earth…
Hi Ian, thanks for the comments, glad to hear you like the map.
A 15 ft falls on the Plotter Kill? Do you mean that spot marked by the 4 triangles?
Ed, No. It is directly south of the 4 triangles. I emailed you your map with a purple circle at the approximate location and a picture from February 1, 2012.
Thanks man,
I know the spot. I’ll take another look soon.
Miller Falls?
Hahaaa. Spectacular!!!
I’m always looking for a new hiking trail and this looks like it’s right up my alley. I’ve always been told there was a trail that led to a waterfall in Schenectady, but until now I had no idea where or how to get there. Thanks to whoever put together this website and the trail map, I’ll be checking it out real soon.
