| Directions
Take Exit 23 from I-87 and go west to US 9 in Warrensburg.
Take a right on US 9 and go 0.8 mile, where you should turn
left on NY 418. This road will become CR 2 and will
end at a "T" just after crossing the Hudson River.
Take a left and then a quick right and you will be on Athol
Road/CR 13. At 3/4 mile, bear right onto the Glen Athol Road
and in another 1.6 mile, bear left on
the Valley Road/CR 36. Continue another 4.6 miles until coming to the
Garnet Lake Rd S on your left. This will become the
Garnet Lake Rd N. Just after crossing a bridge over
Mill Creek, the outlet of Garnet Lake, the Garnet Lake Road
will exit left. Follow this for 0.6 mile to Garnet
Lake where the waterfall will be on your right at the "T".

 Portions of this trip are unpaved and we found the
roads in this area somewhat confusing. Garnet Lake Rd S became
Garnet Lake Rd, then Garnet Lake Rd N and back to Garnet Lake Rd
without warning. Also, there were a couple of intersections
on this one where you needed to turn to stay on the same road!
Although not man-made, this waterfall is somewhat "man-enhanced".
A concrete culvert has been built under the road at the outlet of
Garnet Lake which becomes the top of this waterfall.
Mill Creek flows into the Hudson River which empties into the
Atlantic Ocean in New York City.
