 The Trenton Falls Scenic Trail contains a number of waterfalls
and dams. We would ask you to refer to our Trenton
Falls page for general information about the area. Also note that it is only
open on a limited basis. The Town of Trenton website should
be consulted to find those dates.Sherman Falls is the first
waterfall you will come to as you proceed upstream on the
walking tour. This waterfall for the most part only drops
over 15% to 20% of the width of the channel. The rest of
the riverbed is fairly smooth rock. It is probably
possible that during extremely heavy flow, more would be
covered, but that undoubtedly would be quite rare.
Sherman Falls became an officially named waterfall when it
was added to the GNIS on July 3, 2019.
The West Canada Creek empties into the Mohawk River, which then
flows into the Hudson before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.
