I am an avid waterfall hunter. I found this guide to be extremely helpful, and ulike most others, the directions were pretty good. I've been trying to reach Russell Dunn, so I hope that maybe he logs in here to see what people think. There was a waterfall written about on page 116 of this book, called Hull's Falls. This is very important because it doesn't exist anymore. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. My family and I visited the falls recently, and I'm sure we had the right place. The bridge was there, the boulders were there, but the rocks had fallen into disarray and the waterfall therefore no longer exists. I think that it may have something to do with the earthquake that happened in Plattsburgh a few years ago. It may have loosened things so that when it flooded it created an incident. The bridge has also been closed, because it's unsafe. If there is a reprint of the book, that may be something that should be updated. But the book as a whole is an excellent source of information for waterfall hunters in that area.

It is great to have a handy portable guide to the most popular waterfalls in New York State.
I've hiked my way in to some of the ones that were tough to find.
It is wonderful to have a book that lists them all...even he ones that you can drive right up to!
I would recommend that you use this book along with the benefit of a good map...so you can find your way home.

At least two of these falls, Clifford's Falls and Hulls Falls, are on posted private land and not ok for public access. There may be others as well. The author should get this corrected.

Readers should respect landower's wishes and avoid posted property.

I bring this with me hiking and try to visit at least one of them everytime. A great guide that is an invaluable tool for any hiker in the Adirondacks area.
