Canajoharie Quadrangle

This is a pleasing little plunge that can be seen as you are driving on NY 5 just east of Canajoharie.  It is an unnamed waterfall on an unnamed stream and probably is quite seasonal.  Since there is another waterfall about two miles west of this one on a different unnamed stream, we have opted to give it the moniker we have!

This stream enters the Mohawk less than 400' from this location.  The river is just on the other side of the highway.  If you choose to stop, you will want to be in the west-bound lane, but use caution.  This is a well traveled road and the waterfall is literally on the road's edge.

The water from this stream flows into the Mohawk River and the Hudson River before reaching the Atlantic Ocean in New York City.
