Both this waterfall and the stream it is on are not
named. We are calling it the Schumann Preserve
Waterfall for the sake of cataloging it. It is probably
a seasonal waterfall. These photos were taken on
June 18, 2025, our second visit to the falls. The first
trip last summer it was nearly dry.
Follow the Orange Trail 0.7 miles to the Gazebo
overlooking Lake George. This section is fairly steep but
easy to follow. From there follow the Blue Trail which is
fairly flat for 0.9 mile to the Loop section. Take the loop
to the right for 0.1 mile to the bottom of the falls.
This waterfall has a total drop of 25'-30’. Although it is
seasonal and flows at a low volume even in the spring and
early summer, it is a very pretty setting and a nice hike.
You can take the loop trail in either direction to get to
the top of the falls.
The last photo is taken just downstream from where the trail
crosses the stream. Next time I go back I may explore
further downstream as it looks like there may be potential
for more water features.
This unnamed stream empties into Lake George at Warner Bay. 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.
Webmaster's note: Our thanks to Gary Dilmore for the
information and pictures of this location.
