Out of the back end of Parking Lot #2 take the Big
Bridges Trail (Google maps calls it the Shelving Rock Brook
Trail) with blue trail markers. This trail is an old road,
pretty smooth, easy to follow and very little elevation.
In about 3/10 of a mile, you will cross the Shelving Rock Brook.
In another 50 yards or so, you will come to this long slide.
This is the first of four in this section of the stream.
There was very little water flowing at the
time this picture was taken.
Our contributor plans on a return trip there in the spring of
2026 to see if there is additional flow at that time. Shelving Rock Brook empties into Lake George. The water
from this then flows through La Chute into Lake Champlain.
The flow then goes north through Canada on the Richelieu River and
empties into the St. Lawrence River.
Please note that the Shelving Rock Brook is
officially named but these tributaries and the falls on them are
unnamed. We have chosen these monikers to simplify the
cataloging of the waterfalls.
Webmaster's note: Our thanks to Gary Dilmore for the
information and pictures of this location.
