This is an
unnamed, fairly insignificant waterfall within site of NY 8.
It is not indicated on topographical maps and might well be considered
rapids rather than a waterfall, except that there is only one drop.
It is a quick slide of four to five feet.
The site is home to a small rest area with a paved circular road.
A kiosk there highlights information on the area.
The West Canada Creek empties into the Mohawk River, which then
flows into the Hudson before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.
