This roadside waterfall will leave you speechless! Be advised, the waterfall and its small parking area can get very crowded in the summer months, be careful when finding a space.
How to get there
From Exit 30 off I-87, follow Route 9 north toward Elizabethtown. Continue for 4.5 miles to the parking on the right, just after the crossing of the Boquet River.
Description
Split Rock Falls is a roadside attraction where you can get the full effect of the waterfall with a walk of only about 100 feet. It cannot be seen from the parking lot or road. The top of the falls gives a nice view of the clear pool below the falls. You can approach the bottom of the falls with a rocky down climb from the trail above the falls. This should be done with care and slow movements, the rock can be very slippery due to mist from the waterfall. A path also leads down to the pool for a nice swimming hole and the path also continues to the lower falls, which is a very dangerous location, and should not be taken lightly or done with children. The view of the lower falls is limited from the path and it is very easy to get tempted to go too close to the top.
