Continue upstream from Falls 1. In another 1/4 mile or so,
you will
come to a point where the
Middle Tributary enters the Shelving Rock Brook. This
falls is just upstream on the channel to your left, which is the
main branch of the
brook.
As the
picture shows, it is more of a cliff than a waterfall due to the
low water in the summer of 2025 when 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.
