As you continue upstream from Falls
2, you will soon come to a
third drop. That drop is pictured below. Like Falls
1 and 2, due to low water flow when this was taken, it is not very
impressive. Our contributor plans on a return trip there in the spring of
2026. 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.
