This waterfall is near where the Dug Mountain Brook ends at the Jessup River.  our information is that it is best accessed by canoe, a 7.0 mile paddle, one-way!  Contour maps do show a hiking trail in the general area.  The trail is only 1.3 miles long, but it stops short of the waterfall by about 300 yards.  That is not a long distance, but we do not have any information on the last part of this route.

We have also found information on-line that indicates that "the falls are about a half mile east of the trailhead located on the northern bank of Dug Mountain Brook."  We are following up on this but it is misleading to us.  First of all, none of our maps show a trail on the northern bank of the brook.  Secondly, our information is that the falls are less than 100 feet from where the brook ends at the Jessup River.  Since this point is east of the Jessup River, we aren't sure how the falls can be 1/2 mile east of the trailhead.  That would put the trail on the west side of the Jessup.  It doesn't make sense!

If anyone has any information about these waterfalls, we would be very interested in hearing from you.  

Dug Mountain Brook dumps into the Jessup River.  This river flows north into the Indian Lake, through an area known as The Narrows and into the Indian River before reaching Lake Abanakee.  This lake feeds another stretch of the Indian River.  Despite all of this northerly flow, this water eventually reaches the Hudson River, which flows east for a stretch before turning south for its journey to the Atlantic ocean.
