From the parking area for Split Rock Falls, walk
down the road. This waterfall is less than 1/4 mile downstream.
The best view is posted, but there is a spot that does not have
posted signs. The path is in good shape and easy to
follow, but it is very steep so use caution.
We have dubbed this Underwood Falls because there are a number
of other waterfalls on the Boquet in this area and it is not far
from that hamlet.
It is estimated that the main drop here is between 20 and 25
feet. There are a number of small steps immediately below
the main section. The total descent is in the neighborhood
of 35 to 40 feet.
Our pictures have been provided by contributors John Haywood
and Gary Dilmore. If anyone has any additional information on this waterfall, we would like to hear from
you.
The Boquet River flows into Lake Champlain near Willsboro, New
York.
