From the village of Saratoga Springs, drive north on NYS Route
9. Approximately 3 miles from where 9 and 50 split
(use discretion ... we didn't take an accurate reading), the
Parkhurst Road, also Saratoga County Route 36, will be on your
left. About 1/4 mile up the hill, take a left on the
Greenfield Road. Another 4/10 mile up this hill and the
Strakos Road will come in on the right. Park near this
intersection. This is a very nice waterfall. If you walk
up the road from the intersection to the bridge, you can view it
from above. To see the falls from below, walk a short
distance back down the hill from the intersection and you will
find a trail leading to the stream's edge. It is a bit of a
scramble to the bank because the trail is not maintained, but worth
the trip. The upper part of these falls go through several
drops or slides before a final plunge of 20' or so.
There is a bit of history to this area. Just down the
hill from the intersection where you parked, there is a historical
marker identifying the "Battle of Wilton".
The Snook Kill empties in the Hudson River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
