As you continue upstream from Falls
3, you will soon come to this fourth drop. Pictured below, like
the three drops just downstream of this, it may be a seasonal
waterfall. At least when this picture was taken in late
summer 2025, there was very little water flowing over this
location. Our contributor plans on a return trip there in the spring of
2026.
After viewing this location, if you are proceeding
to the falls on the middle tributary, you have two choices.
You can continue upstream for about 100 yeards and turn right on
the trail marked with yellow markers or simply return downstream
on the Shelving Rock Brook and then follow the tributary
upstream.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.
