We are appealing to our readers for some help with this
one. A very prolific contributor named Gary
Dilmore has been sending in pictures and information on
many waterfall locations in Washington and Essex
Counties during 2025 and '26. One of those
locations is in the Ironville region so we were
considering naming it Ironville Falls.
As your
webmaster started the process of saving the photos, he
discovered that he already had a folder, saved in 2016,
entitled Ironville Falls. None of the pictures in
the folder had been edited or posted on this website.
For whatever reason, it appears that he neglected this
waterfall completely.
Now, fast-forward
ten years or more and he is unable to find the usually
saved audio files which were notes of the trip.
Any written notes of the trip are similarly long gone!
Needless to say, he has forgotten specifics of this trip
so we are in scramble mode!
From the pictures and
video, does anyone recognize this location? We
think we know where is it but until we can get back
there to investigate, we are not certain.
In the
hamlet of Ironville, Penfield Road enters from the
north. West of this, Creek Road splits into Old
Furnace Road and Corduroy Road. Between these two
intersections and closer to the west end, there is an
unnamed creek that crosses CR 2/Creek Road, entering
into Penfield Pond. It seems likely that these
pictures were taken facing north up this creek.
It is our intention to get back to this spot
next spring. Until then, if anyone can either
confirm or deny our hypothesis, we would really
appreciate it. If this is not that location,
perhaps someone can tell us where it really is.
