Follow the Van Hoevenberg Trail, which starts near the parking
area at the Adirondack Loj, for 2.1 miles to Marcy Dam.
Continue on the main trail toward Mt. Marcy for another 2.4
miles.
If anyone has any pictures of this waterfall, we would be very interested in
hearing from you.
The Marcy Brook empties into the West Branch of the Ausable River.
The west branch joins forces with the east branch
in Ausable Forks. The combined Ausable River empties into
Lake Champlain in the town of Peru.
The Heart Lake area by the Adirondack Loj provides the access
for Rocky Falls, MacIntyre Brook Falls, Indian Falls and the Lake
Colden Tributary Falls. Considering the length of the hike
to these areas, you might want to consider grouping these
together.
