I had never been to this falls prior to placing the cache. I am
sure that some of you will find other ways to access the cache. I
don't usually give detailed directions as I know that much of the
challenge is figuring out how to get there, but this one may be
difficult to locate for those of you without a map on your GPS or a
mapping program on your computer. Here is one way to get there:
1. Turn off the TCH at the Kings Landing/Lake George exit.
Travel south. After going under the underpass, turn left on the
service road opposite the PetroCan Station.
2. A short distance down the service road for the new highway
you will come to a old road. Turn right. At N45 51.444 W66 58.569
turn left. You will find a good place to park there, or if you
wish, and don't care much about your paint job, you can proceed a
bit further.(The road is growing in- don't take your Pony down here
Red!) There is a good place to park/turn around at N45 51.354 W66
58.421.
3. You can walk, ski, use and A.T.V., snowmobile, or your G.A.V.
to proceed from there. Resist the urge to follow your G.P.S. and
take off cross country to the end of the road if you are on foot.
It is further to walk but much easier going on the road.
4. At N45 50.713 W66 57.990, bear left at the "Y" in the
road.
5. The road ends at N45 50.969 W66 57.870, a short time after
you pass by an old beaver pond. You are now a bit more than 400 m
from the falls and will have to go on foot from here. Head in the
general direction, and for a bit you will be able to follow an old
road. It is quite overgrown so you may have to use your imagination
in places.
6. As you approach the creek, you will come to a very steep side
hill. Watch your footing! If the water is high, stay on the same
side of the creek and follow the high ground down stream until to
come to a horse back where you can go directly down hill to the
cache. Shortly before you get to the horse back, there is a high
bluff, so be careful.
If the water is lower, it is easier to go down to the creek.
Walk down it a short distance to the falls. Cross the creek just
above it and again just below to get to the cache. There isn't much
water here in the summer and I crossed easily by jumping from rock
to rock.
After placing the cache, I found a path that took me to a ATC
trail on the opposite side of the creek. (Ain't that always the
way!) I followed it until I came to a fairly recent clear cut. You
may find access from this direction. I plan to check it out at my
first opportunity. There is a recent cutting operation on the north
side of the creek as well that may provide access. Another option
would be to walk or ski up the creek itself.
