After viewing waterfall #5 continue upstream on the trail.
You will come to a trail intersection, you want to head to
the left on a connector trail that leads to the Erebus
Mountain Trail, but more importantly, keep following the
brook, don't worry about the trail because you will be off
trail for a bit.
After .2 miles from Waterfall #5,
you will arrive to Waterfall #6, a 5' beauty.
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
