Palmer Falls is another of those waterfalls that isn't! If you know otherwise, please contact
us. A hydroelectric dam was built at this site many
years ago. These falls are also known as Jessups Great Falls
and Kat-che-bon-cook. To reach this area, take River Street east
from NYS Route 9N in the village of Corinth. After crossing
the Hudson River, this becomes East River Drive. Take a
right on Call Street, also known as Warren County Route 32.
You will come to a parking area on the right that is identified as
a scenic overlook. Park and it is a very short walk past the
barrier over a well maintained trail to the overlook. When
you come to the "Y" in the trail, take the left branch. Having
said all that, don't waste your time. There is no waterfall
to be seen and the power dam there is something far less than
impressive. There obviously have to be times when water is
coming over the top, but it wasn't in early July. As these
pictures show, the view verged on boring! The Hudson River flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
