Continue upstream about 30 yards from the point noted in
the Directions side-bar. If the water is running,
you will see it from the trail. Continue on your
right side of the stream to reach Upper Falls #1.
Like all the drops in the Schumann Preserve, this one is not
named. We are calling it the Schumann Upper Falls for the sake of cataloging it.
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.
Please note that the coordinates listed here are for the
Schumann Preserve Falls. We are working on updating these.
We are also working on the photos.
Webmaster's note: Our thanks to Gary Dilmore for the
